in Money and bills
Today I have received a text from GV ADVICE "We believe you may be eligible to immediate cost of living government grants please click on the link to find out more" They want you to pay £4 to find out if indeed you can get a grant. I have no idea how they got my number - only my family and relevant agencies have it. Please don't fall for it if you get a text from them. There's a lot of information on the government website on how to get cost of living support for FREE!

    Reminds me of the pandemic when furlough happened, received a lot of messages from scammers trying to suggest ways to get furlough by paying just a small amount.

    Concerns me how many people must be conned by these that they put money into attempting them. I hope the police have resources to track them down when they're going after such vulnerable people.
