Shoppers have been warned to stay vigilant after a new supermarket scam emerged.
Posting a warning on its website, Morrisons revealed how a number of spam emails, text messages and social media posts from third parties posing as the supermarket had been doing the rounds 'for the purpose of fraudulent activity.'
The fake messages in question have been offering innocent shoppers £40 worth of vouchers - allowing scammers to harvest personal details.
The warning shared by Morrisons read: "We are aware of a number of spam emails, text messages and social media posts from third-parties posing as Morrisons for the purpose of fraudulent activity.
"If you receive one of these suspicious messages, please do not click any links, open attachments or enter personal information.
"We would never ask for your personal details in order to redeem a voucher.
"If you believe you have been contacted please contact us on '0345 611 6111' or call Action Fraud on '0300 123 2040'.
