❗️PUBLIC NOTICE ❗️

🚨 Be aware of Winter Fuel Payment scams 🚨

Fake Winter Fuel Payment messages are circulating. These messages may ask you to click a link, confirm your details, or act urgently.

❗ Remember: Most Winter Fuel Payments are made automatically, and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will not ask for your bank details by text message.

Criminals often target people who may be less confident dealing with unexpected texts, emails, or phone calls. They exploit confusion by sending fake "apply now" texts and emails. Taking a few minutes to chat with a friend, family member, or neighbour could help them spot the warning signs before they click on a scam link or share personal information.

Follow these tips to keep yourself safe from scams:
✅ Don't click links in unexpected messages
✅ Never share personal or financial information
✅ Forward suspicious text messages to 7726 to help stop scams spreading

🤔 Not sure if a message is genuine? Now you can check by using Ask Silver, the new tool from Friends Against Scams (we’ve included a link in the comments) ⬇️
