Email from Sainsbury

Don’t - you are right to trust your gut instinct!

You could try phoning their customer service dept to check, but could be on hold for ages!

Just go onto their online site and see if you can book a slot and order. That will tell you. Do you have a Nectar card?

I have gotten several warnings about scams where they require personal info. I would suggest calling Sainsbury.

I keep getting emails from Sainsbury's too but I still can't book a slot when I go to their site. So frustrating

I have been told I have been registered, but was already a customer. They have my credit card details but not bank details. I had an automated phone call from them and have had one delivery so far. Sounds like a scam.

You don't need bank details. It's spam. They get your eligibility from the NHS and YouGov then email that you can have a slot. Pay at online checkout.

Talking of scams. My son sent me this
“If you receive an email from the department of health telling you to avoid eating tinned pork as it may contain covid19, ignore it. It’s spam.

No don’t do it. They might ask for a loyalty card number but never your credit card. That would come after placing an order at the check out.

Don't You would never ever need to give bank details when registering.

Bank details only needed when you come to paying for your order.

The email address might give you a clue.
I’d report it to Sainsbury’s, they probably have some sort of cyber security set-up.

Have you been notified by government letter that you should lockdown for 12 weeks as you are classed as vulnerable? Are you on the shielding list? If you have a Sainsbury’s online account set up you are automatically notified that you can book a priority slot. Same with all the supermarkets if you have a registered account. When you log in to your account you have to click for the priority delivery. If none of this is applicable then it’s got to be a scam. We are on the shielding list (you do need to register on the government website) and after initially panicking and wondering how on Earth I would shop for food suddenly I had slots with Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Iceland! Plus an unexpected delivery of the emergency basics box the government are sending out! I’m overwhelmed!

Just noticed OP said bank details needed. Definitely a scam then!☹️

Have registered using their website (not email), allowed me to register as priority, but when I try to get a delivery slot says “not recognised as vulnerable” can’t get through on phone, I just get cur off. So frustrating.

There’s no booking of slots now with Sainsbury’s unless they have first registered you as on the shielded list. Are you on that list Siver? The Govt is sending details of whose on the list to Sainsburys. Having said that, I can’t believe that they would ask you for your bank details so would just delete it. Impossible to phone them I’ve found.

Delete the email, do not trust it.

Got fed up with trying Sainsbury, why let me register then say I’m not eligible.
After a phone call to good old Tesco yesterday they told me to log in to their site after four o’clock today. I did so and was offered a slot on two different days. These are 8 hour slots, not the normal one hour, but I’m not going anywhere am I?
Well done Tesco who I have used for many years now.

Don't follow that link.

831 This thread is over 4 years old. I expect the email has been sorted out by now. Obviously a scam anyway.

That's odd, the post I reported of today's date has completely disappeared!

Callistermon I know the post to which you refer. It contained a link. I've just re read the thread and you're right, it is no longer there. Maybe GNHQ removed it?
