Supposedly, the bank is handing out free Tesco vouchers to Tesco Savings bank customers. To qualify, claims the email, you need to click a &#8216;register&#8217; link and provide the requested details.<\/p>\n<p>But, the email \u00a0is not from Tesco Bank and there are no free vouchers. Instead, it is a <a title=\"Phishing Scams - Anti-Phishing Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your personal and financial information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the link in the hope of getting your free voucher, you will be taken to a \u00a0fraudulent website designed to emulate the genuine Tesco Bank site. The fake site will contain a form that asks \u00a0you to provide your credit card and bank account numbers \u00a0as well as your ID information, address, and contact details. The form will claim that you must provide this information if you want to receive one of the free vouchers.<\/p>\n<p>All  \u00a0of the information you submit on the \u00a0fake form will be collected by online criminals and used to commit \u00a0financial \u00a0fraud and identity theft.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"'Unclaimed Tesco Voucher' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/unclaimed-tesco-voucher-phishing-scam.shtml\">Versions of this phishing scam<\/a> have been distributed for several years.
