Shoppers are being warned about a scam circulating in supermarkets. The fraudster approaches someone comparing prices in the aisles, claiming they have finished shopping but their payment card is not working. They ask the shopper to pay for their trolley, promising cash on the spot. The goods, paid for with the victim's card, are then resold, and the promised repayment never arrives.

Why now: Warnings about in-store scams involving strangers asking shoppers to pay for their groceries are spreading, prompting people to share experiences and stay alert.
