Tesco £500 Gift Card Scam - Beware

I did respond to the point when asking me to log into my PayPal, which I have not. If I hit “done” in the top left is it safe

The Tesco Rewards scam offering £500 gift card is still circulating. Mine came from a curious email address: _TescoReward_-uoeh.romanowing.vip
Don't respond. McAfee knows it's dubious.
