Householders are being warned of a new scam email claiming to offer a refund worth hundreds from British Gas.
The fake emails are targeting the most vulnerable by convincing them they've overpaid on energy bills from 2020-2021 and are owed a £315 refund as a result. The message displays official British Gas watermarks, a reference number and company branding to appear more convincing.
It reads: "British Gas wants to inform you that you are eligible for a payment refund. Our records indicates that you have paid more than you should have for your British Gas service from 2020 - 2021. Because of this reason and that we value our clients we have decided to refund the total amount which you have overpaid."
