Households have been issued a warning as bill payers are facing a 'huge' jump in energy-related scams.
Fraudsters are exploiting the energy crisis as fear and confusion rises around soaring bills. This comes after scams mentioning the 'big six' energy firms in the first quarter of this year were up by 10 per cent, with January alone seeing a 27 per cent year-on-year increase, according to Action Fraud, as reported by Which?.
Now with Ofgem confirming an 80 per cent rise on the energy price cap, bills will soar and scammers will take advantage, households are being warned.
