Shoppers warned as fake Asda and Morrisons delivery messages circulate

Supermarket shoppers are being warned of fake delivery text messages that are circulating, which attempt to obtain personal details.

Messages seen by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) claim that an Asda or Morrisons order is out for delivery, and includes a link to a bogus website.

The message attempts to dupe recipients into clicking on the link to direct them to a webpage, which supposedly allows them to track their order and view a delivery note.

However, scammers use the links to obtain people’s personal information, which could put their finances at risk, the CTSI has warned.

Circulating scam messages

The fake supermarket messages follow a Royal Mail delivery scam, various bogus banking messages, and a National Insurance number scam which have been circulating.
