Cost of living payments fraud
You may have seen in the media that there has been a significant increase in scammers attempting to obtain personal information from customers by sending out texts suggesting that customers are eligible for cost of living payments.
The Department for Work and Pensions would like to remind customers that if you are eligible you do not have to do anything:
- you will not need to apply for the payment
- you will not need to call us
- the payment to you is automatic
The Department for Work and Pensions will never ask for personal details by SMS or email. If you are unsure about a text, you should report it on GOV.UK
