Check if something is an energy scam

Energy scams have risen for obvious reasons (clue: £££). Criminals have different ways of getting hold of personal information or bank details.

For example, they may pretend to:

be a supplier offering a refund
be from the energy regulator Ofgem asking for information so you can get the energy rebate
be a debt collector asking for money owed to a supplier that’s gone bust
offer green home improvement grants
offer energy investment opportunities
offer cheap prepayment meter top-up keys or cards
offer energy-saving devices
