⚠️ ALERT: We've received several reports about these fake Tesco emails offering ‘free vouchers’ during the coronavirus outbreak.

The link leads to a convincing-looking #phishing website that is designed to steal your login, personal and financial information! #coronavirusfrauds

[National Fire Chiefs Council @NFCC_FireChiefs]

NFCC is warning a campaign encouraging sky lanterns to be lit as a show of solidarity for NHS workers is ‘misguided’.This could lead to an intensive and complex large-scale incident; time which could be spent supporting vulnerable people in the community.

If you haven't sussed it yet it is a scam!
