Aldi has warned about a fake voucher scam which has duped shoppers into thinking they can save money.
Hoax vouchers have been shared on social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter, purporting to offer £65 worth of goods at the store.
However, the Midland supermarket giant revealed has been the subject of a scam – and the vouchers are worthless.
It said it was investigating the scam, which ends up in people being asked for their personal details on a website which has nothing to do with Aldi.
It said on Twitter: “We are aware that there is a hoax £65 Aldi voucher being circulated. This voucher is fraudulent and cannot be redeemed in store.

It isn’t the first time a scam like this has been identified using the Aldi brand.
