Beware of scam energy rebate messages
Residents in Charnwood are being urged to be aware of potential energy rebate scammers.
There has been a rise in fake text messages and emails claiming to be from ‘GOVUK’ and Ofgem, the independent regulator for Great Britain.
The messages will say that the recipient is eligible for a government funded energy bill rebate and will ask for them to visit a weblink which is designed to steal financial and personal information.
If you do receive a message or email that you believe to be a scam, contact the organisation directly from the details on their official website. Do not contact the number or email which you have received a message off or click on the link.
Your bank will never ask you to supply personal information on email or text.
Eligible households will start receiving energy bill rebates from October 2022, you can find out the details on the Government's website.
