Beware. A friend has just been caught.
It's (currently) a WhatsApp scam in which £250 worth of vouchers are allegedly yours if you fill in a short questionnaire and send it to 10 others. Don't do it. It's not from Sainsburys and is only a method of getting malware into your computer.
Remember - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. In this case it definitely is.

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

This one was doing the rounds on facebook a few years back. I've also been getting a lot of 'pass this on' messages allegedly from friends which have to be ignored because they are likely to be from hackers.

Thank you for the warning, I received the message from a friend this morning but didn't act on it which was just as well. Maybe this type of thing is the 21st century equivalent of a chain letter but far more pernicious in what it might achieve . . . . . Quite why people would think that a supermarket would happily give away £250 to all and sundry is bewildering. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Im more tech savy, so am aware of these type of scams. As sticky said, if its too good to be true ignore it."Stoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast"0

I gather that it's a way to make pin money for some, completing questionnaires, reviews and the like, and I doubt they consider what is going to happen to that information or how many businesses gain access to them as a result.0
