Households have been told to be aware of scam emails wrongly telling them to claim council tax rebates from energy regulator Ofgem.
The email tells recipients they have until June 1, 2022, to claim an energy bill discount worth £200, plus a non-repayable council tax rebate of £250.
It then instructs people to click a link, which takes them to a fake Ofgem website where you’ll be asked to enter your personal details.
