New Spam Hoax - Energy Refunds

Post by JGD »

I thought for a few moments that I had missed a step.

Received a hoax email allegedly from OFGEM today and I know it is fake.

Mainly because I don't recall a scheme as described in the email.

I double checked the OFGEM website which confirmed there is no such scheme. The embedded link is not a valid OFGEM website.

The email had a classic pressure play which said I had to register within two weeks to ensure I did not miss out on my hoax rebate.

It also tried to induce me to set up a Direct Debit to receive the payment. As everyone knows you only set up Direct Debits to make payments.

Please beware people - the scammers can hook the best of us.

Please never provide bank details or credit card info online in response to email requests - ever.
