By Jess Sharp, Money teamSainsbury's has started working with police after noticing an increase in the number of fraudulent vouchers being used in its stores. The supermarket has recently become the subject of a TikTok trend called 'the Sainsbury's method'. Videos using the term have been posted on social media platform, showing people scanning a coupon several times at the checkout to get money off their shop.
In some instances, they have offered to sell others the coupon. Sainsbury's told the Money team it has seen an 'increase in fraudulent coupons' being used and there are processes in place to detect and block them. In-store detectives have also been tasked with monitoring false attempts, and the supermarket is working with police forces on the issue. 'We continue to accept genuine coupons and vouchers,' a spokesperson said.
