Cadbury is telling members of the public and customers to ignore a scam that is circulating around social media and in particular WhatsApp at present.

A spokesperson for Cadbury said:

“We’ve been made aware of circulating posts on social media claiming to offer consumers a free Easter Chocolate basket.

“We can confirm this hasn’t been generated by us & we urge consumers not to interact. Your security is our priority & we’re currently working to resolve this.”
