Woolworths was forced to shut down a payment system after some Everyday Rewards members were exploited by scammers.
The supermarket giant has temporarily removed the Everyday Pay option from its Everyday Rewards app after several customers were affected by a 'sophisticated external phishing scam'.
Everyday Pay is a payment method within the Everyday Rewards app which allows members to save their debit and credit cards in a wallet and pay via QR code at the checkout.
The feature, which also allows customers to buy and store gift cards in their wallet, means that customers can both pay and scan their Everyday Rewards card in one action, rather than scanning their card and paying separately.

But several Everyday Pay users mistakenly gave away their personal information to scammers who were then able to legitimately access their accounts.
