Martin Lewis' official website, Money Saving Expert is warning UK residents away from a fake Ofgem energy rebate scam - which sees victims part ways with personal data.
Action Fraud, which works closely with the police to collect and process reports of fraud has also taken to social media to warn people of the trick, in which fraudsters claiming to be representatives of Ofgem offer a bogus £400 energy rebate amidst the cost of living crisis.
This comes just weeks after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that all households with an electricity supply will receive a £400 grant from October onwards to help deal with inflation and rising energy prices.
