The UK’s national fraud and cyber reporting centre has warned people to be aware of a fake email scam offering the chance to win supermarket vouchers. Action Fraud UK shared an image on Twitter on Tuesday (October 25) showing a fake email telling the recipient they are in a draw for a gift card from Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons.
The organisation says it has received 277 reports of the scam in one week. The fake email says: “With this email, it is our pleasure to inform you about being one of our possible winners of £1000!
"We are happy to inform you that you are one of 3 people in the final draw for a £1000 gift card from Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons.”
