Dear Residents, 🚨 FRAUD WARNING - DOORSTEP ENERGY GRANT SCAM 🚨
🚪 Be wary of anyone knocking on your door asking about energy grants, utility support payments, or the Warm Home Discount Scheme.
Fraudsters may claim: ⚠️ You have missed a deadline and need to reapply. ⚠️ You are due a refund. ⚠️ They need to verify your details.
Their aim is to obtain your: ❌ Personal information ❌ National Insurance number ❌ Bank details
Some may even use energy checks as an excuse to gain entry to your home and steal valuables.
✅ Never share personal or banking details with unexpected callers. ✅ Do not allow strangers into your home. ✅ Ask for ID, but remember it can be fake. ✅ Report suspicious activity to police on 101. ✅ Report to Report Fraud (previously known as Action Fraud) on 0300 123 2040. 📱 ☎️
Legitimate energy suppliers and councils rarely conduct door-to-door visits regarding Warm Home Discount payments. 🌡️
