Pick n Pay warns of new phishing ‘scam’
Pick n Pay's Smart Shopper card holders were warned of the latest phishing scam.
Pick n Pay Smart Shopper card holders are warned of the latest phishing scam where an email is distributed stating they could qualify for a R700 grocery voucher.
To stand a chance to win, the email instructs customers to enter their Smart Shopper card number.
The Pick n Pay Smart Shopper system accumulates points with each purchase in order to receive discounts.
However, once the card number is entered, all points disappear.
Pick n Pay released a statement stating the retail giant communicates with customers through the Smart Shopper channel.
