Text came in promising £200-300 winter fuel aid, urging apply by tomorrow via a link demanding bank deets for a £1 'test' refund. Posing as Universal Credit, but Google says it's for over-60s only (I'm not that old). The 07 prefix tipped me off, dodgy as hell
Scam alert – don’t pay the £1 ‘check’ fee!

Expert Opinion
If you get a text promising a quick £200‑300 boost for your heating bill and asks you to pay a £1 ‘verification’ fee, it’s almost certainly a scam. The reference to Universal Credit is a common trick – they’ll copy official language to sound legit, but genuine departments never ask for bank details via a link. Never click the link or share your card information; instead, log into your official account directly or call the known service number. Report the number to your provider and to Action Fraud, and block the sender to stop further nuisance calls.
