Expert Opinion
A text message claiming entitlement to a £300 winter fuel payment from the DWP raises immediate red flags, as official communications rarely arrive unsolicited via SMS. Scammers often mimic government agencies to extract personal details or payments, preying on vulnerable recipients during colder months. Block the number straight away and report it to Action Fraud or your phone provider to curb further outreach. Never share bank info or click links in such messages—verify claims directly through the genuine DWP website or helpline. If you've engaged, monitor accounts for unusual activity and consider a credit freeze for added security. Staying vigilant helps protect against these persistent fraud attempts.
