Energy regulator Ofgem is warning consumers to beware of scam email messages claiming to offer discounts on energy bills. The phishing scam messages invite recipients to apply for the £400 “non-repayable discount” by following a link to a fake Ofgem phishing website to provide personal details and set up a direct debit to receive the money.
The advice is to be vigilant, avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails, and to report any such emails to Action Fraud and forward them to The National Cyber Security Centre at report@phishing.gov.uk.
