🚨 Urgent Alert for British Gas Users! 🚨
Be on the lookout, folks! Scammers are on the prowl, sending dodgy emails pretending to offer a “Free Google Nest Thermostat.” 📧 But beware—this is a trick to steal your personal and financial info!
Here’s the lowdown: these emails falsely claim to be from trusted energy providers and entice you with promises of saving £200 a year. But the catch? Clicking these links prompts you to fill out surveys that can lead to your data being misused or sold. Yikes!
🔍 Spot the Red Flags:
– Emails not personalised with your name or customer number.
– Unexpected requests for payments or sensitive info.
– Dodgy email addresses pretending to be from ‘British Gas.’
– Links leading to anything other than official britishgas.co.uk sites.
– Attachments from dubious emails—beware!
British Gas firmly warns that legitimate emails will never ask for passwords or personal details. Their official emails are clear, precise, and free from urgency tactics designed to fluster you into acting fast. 🚫
If you suspect something fishy, don’t click or respond. Instead, report it by forwarding the email to phishing@britishgas.co.uk. Sharing these fake emails helps stop scammers in their tracks! 🚦
Has a scam already duped you into losing money? Immediately ring your bank using the number on your card and report the incident to the authorities. Remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
