WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS SCAM

Please be aware, there are a number of scams circulating regarding the winter fuel payment:

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said: “If you get a text message about winter fuel payments, it’s a scam. They will be made automatically so you do not need to apply. These despicable attempts by criminals to target people are on the rise. We are raising awareness to make it harder for fraudsters to succeed. If you receive a suspicious message about winter fuel payments, don’t engage - forward it to 7726 (with the contact name or number that sent it) and delete it immediately."
