DWP 'rebate' warning over Cost of Living payments

People who are owed Cost of Living support from the government are being warned about "disgusting" scam emails.

Fraudsters are attempting to target UK households by impersonating the DWP through emails saying they are eligible for a £400 discount under the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS). The emails ask the recipient to share details including their name, address and debit or credit card details in order to "receive the rebate".

The EBSS entitles every household in England, Scotland and Wales to a £400 discount to help with bills.
