Lidl is warning customers not to open any texts that appear to be from the retailer, as a scam is doing the rounds.

The supermarket has tweeted to say any communication people receive through text is definitely a scam.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE 🚫 ***
Please do not open any texts that appear to have been sent by Lidl. As a company we don't communicate any offers or information to customers via text so anything received via text message is most definitely a scam.

It says the only offer and competitions it runs are on its verified social media accounts and website.
