JohnfromUK Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Been mentioned several times on local sites - it is a scam. Your £400 (if due) will be done via your energy supplier I understand. You need to do nothing. Genuine Government websites end xxxx.gov.uk Edited September 28, 2022 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 It is a pretty good guide that genuine UK Government sites all end in xxxxx.gov.uk. Anything ending in .com, .co.uk, or anything else is probably not a genuine Government site. I am not aware that trhere are scam sites operating by 'spoofing' as .gov.uk, but I'm sure they will find a way eventually, so it still pays to be careful.

islandgun Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I had one the other day claiming to be a warrant for my arrest, very official looking, I figured that the police seldom let you know that they are going to arrest you by email, so binned it... still free..ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
