Scam warning

Published: 07/09/2022

Flintshire County Council Trading Standards are warning residents that scammers and cybercriminals are attempting to capitalise on the cost of living crisis. One of the latest scam e-mails pretends to be from British Gas and offers a non-existent refund of £315.

Don’t click on the link in the email as it will lead to a malicious website that is designed to steal your financial and/or personal information.

If you think that an email you received from British Gas could be genuine, you should contact British Gas using their official contact number from their website to verify the authenticity of the email.
