Tesco shoppers warned over scam that could empty your bank account

Tesco shoppers are being warned over a gift card scam that could empty your bank account.

Action Fraud has received 172 reports so far this months about the scam which sees fake emails sent to shoppers purporting to be from Tesco. The emails state that the recipient has been "selected" for the chance to win a £500 Tesco gift card.

To get "one step closer" to winning the prize, the email asks people to confirm their details or log into their PayPal account. The scam email said: "You have been selected to join our loyalty programme for FREE!! It only takes you a minute to get access to this fantastic prize."
