SCAM Warning

[wornish]

Got a message on my mobile overnight from GOV.UK telling me I am eligible for a discounted energy bill with a link that takes you to a site that looks very much like the official GOV.UK site.

It asks for your energy supplier name and then asks for your name and address, So far no problem. Then it asks. for your credit card details so they can provide the payment! ALARM BELLS. I cancelled out.

On digging I found the sender's mobile phone number and have now reported it as scam to O2 my mobile provider.
So be warned.

If anyone wants the number pm me,

Well dodged. There is some information on this I read here: https://grahamcluley.com/energy-bill...sms-and-email/

“The truth is that your utility provider will give you your rebate automatically if you are eligible – you don’t need to sign up”

I’m getting at least 1 scam text a week but most of them are blocked automatically. Usually Royal Mail delivery scams.
