Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Aldi £50 Voucher scam post below, which claims loyal customers have a chance to claim a £50 voucher, is circulating on social media websites like Facebook. Clicking the scam post will take potential victims to a fake Aldi website(aldi.co.uk.50uk .club) where visitors will be asked to complete a survey and share the scam with their friends in order to receive their vouchers. But, they will never the voucher they were promised because the aim of sharing the post is to spread it to other potential victims and send them to spam and malicious websites.
In order to make the Aldi £50 Voucher scam convincing, the scammers inserted fake Facebook comments along with the profile photos of people who have no idea their pictures are being used in a scam. So, do not be fooled by comments in the picture above where people claimed they have received their vouchers.
