Cost of living scams

Please be cautious of possible scams including fake text messages and emails relating to cost of living and energy.

The government is offering help for households but beware of criminals pretending to offer these support schemes.

These scam emails and text messages come in many different forms and promise financial gain. They are often official looking and pretend to be from the government or HMRC. For more information please visit cost of living scams.

Help us reach more people
