Just thought i'd give a heads up on here regarding this. Earlier this afternoon i received a text message from a random mobile number claiming to be from GOV-UK. The message reads the following..
Due to the Energy Bill Support Scheme , you are owed a £400 rebate on your energy bill. Apply via XXXXX (which was a link)
This is clearly a scam because as we know you don't apply for this, it's either added to your energy account or your receive vouchers.
If anyone receives this text please do not click on the link!
