The next-gen console is still in constant demand – and remains sold-out almost everywhere.Sony launched the PlayStation 5 back in November, with phenomenal success.
But scammers have picked up on this demand, creating fake offers, deals and websites to steal money from unsuspecting Brits. Now Tesco has warned that some enterprising tricksters are using the store's branding to con buyers out of hundreds of pounds. "We have been made aware of an unofficial pre-order site using the Tesco branding," the retailer explained."Please do not use these sites to pre-order a PS5 or Xbox."The retailer added: "We do not have visibility of any future stock at this time."
According to Tesco, the best way to avoid being scammed is to ignore any Tesco branding that isn't on an official website or social media platform.Tesco has been limiting customers orders of the PS5 to one unit per customer.The PS5 has been largely sold out since it launched in November 2020.
