New Canaan police are alerting residents to a shopping scam circulating via email, purporting to be from online retailer Shein.

The fraudulent email lacks official logos and branding, with a sender's address not affiliated with Shein's domain.

Recipients are falsely informed they have won a mystery box and encouraged to click a link to a fake website.

Clicking the link may compromise personal information.

Residents are advised to exercise caution and verify authenticity before engaging with suspicious emails.
