People in Gedling borough are falling for a new fake Aldi voucher scam which has hit social media – claiming to offer £85 off at the discount store.
The new scam is designed to get hold of your personal details, and then use you to spam your contacts on social media.
The scam appears to be a voucher offering a £85 discount – to celebrate Aldi’s 55th birthday.
It says that to claim your discount you just need to click the link, and enter your details. These include your name, address and date of birth. You are then invited to share the voucher on your own page.
Aldi has now published a warning on its Twitter and Facebook pages, highlighting that this is a bogus offer. It said: “ALERT: there’s a hoax £85 Aldi voucher circulating online. This offer is fraudulent and cannot be redeemed in our stores. We’re investigating.”
Aldi was founded in 1913 so if it was celebrating any anniversary it wouldn’t be its 55th birthday.
