Warning About Tesco Online Scam Selling Cheap Bikes

Online shoppers are being cautioned about a fraudulent website impersonating Tesco, which offers products at unusually low prices. This warning comes after a customer expressed confusion over the legitimacy of the site, prompting discussions on Reddit's Tesco subreddit. Users quickly identified the website, bsgda.com, as a scam, with one commenter noting, "That’s not a Tesco website at the top," and emphasizing that even if it were, it would likely involve third-party sellers and potential scams. The fraudulent site, which currently redirects to a page selling pet beds, has raised red flags among users. One Redditor highlighted that the site is hosted in the United States, suggesting it is likely a scam. They pointed out the suspicious coding and the use of simplified Chinese in the website's structure, further indicating it could be a drop-shipper or a phishing site. The consensus among users is to avoid engaging with the site altogether. In response to the growing concerns, Tesco has provided guidance on its official website for customers to report scams and assess whether they have fallen victim to fraudulent activities. Shoppers are encouraged to forward any suspicious emails to phishing@tescobank.com and to refrain from including personal information in their communications. Additionally, if they receive dubious text messages, they should report them to their network operator, with the option to forward messages to 7726 at no cost.
