Warning of Energy Support text scam

Our PCSO has advised us of a new scam related to the Energy Support package, below:

Energy support text scam

The new wave of scam texts tell you that you’ve been identified as being eligible for the government’s Energy Bills Support Scheme. They invite you to click on a link to claim your payment. The websites detailed in these texts were all created recently, before being swiftly taken down and replaced by new pages. The fraudulent site invites you to click on a link titled ‘Start Now’, which takes you to a page asking you to select your energy provider. This then leads to another page where you are asked to enter your bank details.

Avoid and report this energy scam

Any unexpected text messages should always be treated with caution, and you shouldn’t click on any links in an unsolicited text message.

You can report suspicious texts by forwarding them to 7726. This reports the message to your mobile phone provider. You can report dodgy websites by entering their URLs into the NCSC’s website.

The alleyway to the side of the library will also close for the duration of this time.

CWAC is currently finalising plans to fully refurbish the library to make it fit for the next generation and it considers this initial phase of work to be the start of a longer-term renovation project.

Events and services in the building have been temporarily moved to new locations nearby and the Council is currently working on plans to provide a more stable location to accommodate library services in Northwich while the building is closed.
