WhatsApp Sainsbury’s gift card scam warning to people in Gedling borough

WhatsApp users in Gedling borough are being warned about a new Sainsbury’s gift card scam that is currently being shared on the instant messaging app.

The message being circulated tells users they can get a £250 gift card if they fill in a survey and pass the message on to 10 of their friends.

However, there is no gift card and the message is actually a way for cyber thieves to gain personal data from unsuspecting users.

The supermarket giant has now posted a message on social message site Twitter which reads: “This isn’t an official Sainsbury’s communication and you should ignore/delete it without replying.”
