⚠️ Be on the lookout for scam emails and text messages which ask you to click on a link to get the government's energy help.⁠ One of our clients has let us know about a scam text they recently received about an 'Energy Support Programme' - a grant that doesn't actually exist.⁣ ⁣⁣

⚠️ If you get one of these emails or texts, do not click on the link.⁠ Do not complete the form, and particularly do not give your bank details. Any support you are already eligible for will have been paid to you automatically.⁣⁣

⚠️ If you're contacted by text, phone, email or door-to-door and you're in any way unsure if it's a scam, don't give your personal and bank details nor sign up to anything until you're sure it is genuine.⁣⁣⁠⁣⁣
