Aldi customers in Gedling borough are being warned about a new scam which is being widely circulated on Facebook.

Facebook users in the borough have been falling for a hoax concerning fake Aldi vouchers, which claims to offer shoppers free coupons up to £85 to spend in Aldi stores.

The budget supermarket chain has confirmed that no such offer exists.

The aim of the fake offer is taking over the victim’s Facebook timeline.

Once the victim clicks on the link, they are directed to a survey page, which you are then asked to share on social media.

This then spams all of your friends with the same offer, and it is also thought the scam could also infect your PC with dangerous malware.

If you come across this scam, just ignore it.
