Watch out for “Green Energy” scam calls
The caller was attempting to sell “Green Energy” to
the resident which would also entitle them to “a
£1000 cheque as cashback”. The caller was using a with-held telephone number
and the resident reported that the line was very bad,
with the caller possibly using a mobile telephone. The
caller ended the call stating that they would call back
at a later date. Although Scottish & Southern Energy is a legitimate
company - fraudsters often use the names of real
firms to add authenticity to their claims. The victim contacted the energy company to verify
the call and they confirmed there was no such offer
available and nor would they contact customers by
telephone.
