Possible Scam Email

Just had an email with an official looking Tesco page that said I was a potential winner of a Samsung Galaxy S9. Moused over the link provided and it had nothing to do with Tesco. I only say it's a possible scam because it could be some sort of promotional thing, but I never click on anything I'm unsure of, nor should anyone for that matter. Just thought it might be a good idea to give everyone a heads up in case they receive a similar email.

Fraudsters will always find way of parting you from your money unless you are ultra vigilant. Don't know if this helps?

Good link @jonsie, very useful.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Thanks for that @jonsie. So instead of deleting as I said earlier, I will sent it to the phishing site in that link.

I can't actually access that link, but mails like that should also be sent to the Action Fraud site. https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/
