Police have issued a warning over fake energy bill support messages after a spate of con attempts in Derbyshire

Officers say they have recently seen an increase in the number of reports relating to energy bill support scheme messages, identical or similar to that pictured.

Police point out that the discount for the Energy Bills Support Scheme is automatic – you do not need to apply or provide any bank details.
