APOLOGIES.
I received a message from what I believed to be a trust worthy source offering the chance to win prizes from Aldi.
I foolishly sent this on.
Some people here were included to this forwarded message for which I apologise. I have messaged everybody advising them NOT to use the link but thought it best to do this more publicly in case others received a similar message. If you do receive a similar (virus filled) message I suggest you use an anti-virus app to clean your phone.
Lesson learned: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Thanks for the heads up. I would suggest factory re-setting your phone if you have any doubts about malware or viruses. Please take care to back up your files beforehand. If you are unsure contact your manufacturer and service provider websites and support pages. If you use the anti-virus / anti-malware app please double check that that is what it says it is, that it is the one in the play store / app store with a significant number of downloads and reviews. A common ploy for dodgy apps is to claim to protect you from dodgy apps.
