The Lidl Email Scam
RE: We haven't forgotten you ...
LIDL UK Ltd.
Dear
past week we've made several attempts to reach out to you. In addition, my assistant also tried to reach you by phone, but without great success. This message is the last notification we'll send you.
A receipt from a purchase back in 2020 has automatically been entered our most up to date draw. This receipt has been picked and our system has already identified you as the owner.
What does it mean for you now: You have a voucher waiting with us - all you have to do is answer a quick opinion poll (taking approximately 3-5 min.) and you will immediately be given the opportunity to set up your groceries voucher free of charge so that you can use it right after.
