Warning of the circulation of fake emails impersonating energy companies

Action Fraud have reported that they have received reports about fake emails impersonating various energy companies with offers of either free or cheap electricity, however, it is a SCAM.

The email asks you to click on a link which will take you to a realistic looking website under the control of the criminals, where they will steal your personal and financial data. 

Always be wary of emails from organisations contacting with links and if unsure always used a trusted number to contact the company.

You can report suspicious emails by forwarding to report@phishing.gov.uk
