Morrisons UK issues scam warning over 'suspicious' messages

Shoppers have been warned to stay vigilant after a Morrisons scam emerged.

The supermarket has posted a warning on its website about a number of spam emails, texts and social media posts from third parties posing as Morrisons 'for the purpose of fraudulent activity.'

The fake message offers customers £40 worth of vouchers - allowing scammers to harvest personal details reports, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The warning shared by Morrisons reads: "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'.

"You can also visit 'www.actionfruad.police.uk' to report fraudulent activity to the authorities."
