Re: Yet another scam email

My wife had a text a couple of days ago, purportedly from Tesco. Looked and sounded very plausable, until it asked for a small fee for the cost of postage of the new Samsung Galaxy S10 and hence her credit card details. I'm amazed at just how realistic it looked in terms of Tesco logo, layout and font and subsequent graphics and selection boxes for the phone. If I hadn't spotted the anomalous "sponsor", I might have fallen for it.
