Harry Styles and Taylor Swift have been caught in up a sex tape scam.

A 'video' of the pair has supposedly leaked onto the internet - but it is just a hoax to get naive internet users to give away their personal details, with the video not actually existing.

The fake leak link directs users to survey websites that prey on personal information.

Information for the scam reads: "The famous singer Taylor Swift had her iPhone hacked Monday and a sex tape between her and former boyfriend Harry Styles has been leaked on the Internet. Taylor's publicists are trying to take down all of the websites hosting it, but we found a working one! Watch the video before it's taken down!"

The famous pair were publicly seen dating late last year, with pictures emerging of the couple holding hands and kissing at New Year.

However, they were said to have split after a massive row whilst on holiday in January.
