Tesco shoppers urged to delete scam email immediately from inbox

Tesco shoppers have been warned about a fake refund email.

According to consumer website Which?, the email claims shoppers are due a refund due to a 'system error'. If a person receives the phishing email, it claims the shopper made a complaint in store as ‘something was wrong with a purchased item’ and due to a 'reported error' it stopped the person getting the compensation.

The email asks to verify an email address and includes a link to do this. According to Which?, the email did not have any Tesco branding and in order to appear legitimate it included random employee names. It claimed to be from a 'Polly Gallagher' whose title was Regional Response Administrator.
