Action Fraud has warned that criminals are using the ongoing cost-of-living crisis to target the public with energy rebate scams.
Action Fraud revealed that more than 1,500 reports have been filed with the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) regarding scam emails purporting to be from energy regulator Ofgem, offering customers energy rebates.
To protect themselves from scams, Action Fraud has advised individuals to contact an organisation directly if they have doubts about an email; refrain from using numbers or addresses in the message and instead use the details on the company’s official website, and forward suspicious communications to report@phishing.gov.uk.
