The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy has produced factsheets for consumers on a traditional prepayment meter to help them receive the government discount vouchers to pay their energy bills.
The government is urging consumers to stay alert of potential scams and report these to the relevant authorities where they are suspected.
If individuals receive a message that asks for their bank details or to click on a link, it is very important that they report it promptly. Individuals are encouraged to send a screen shot of the message to report@phishing.gov.uk and energy.bills.rebate@beis.gov.uk
