A stark warning has been issued over a new email phishing scam where fraudsters can steal people's card details and empty their bank accounts.
Experts at secure card payments provider Dojo say emails, claiming to be from Argos, are offering a free Ninja Air Fryer if users participate in an online survey and then enter their card payment details to receive the free item. The scam sends people to a seemingly ‘official’ Argos page to complete the survey, but there are numerous red flags that consumers should be aware of.
Firstly, the website address and email aren’t coming from Argos or Sainsbury’s official domain, and the currency is in dollars. There is also a timer that warns the offer will disappear, to add time pressure on victims to encourage them to fill out the survey and input personal details.
