Today, a text came from this number pretending to be DWP about Winter Heating Allowance. It seems suspicious with a link to a fake government-like page requesting info they already possess. Definitely phishing—I'll report it and remove the message.

Expert Opinion
Receiving a text about Winter Heating Allowance from an unknown number sounds like a classic phishing ploy. These scammers mimic government bodies like the DWP to trick folks into clicking dodgy links and handing over personal details. The real DWP wouldn't ask for info they already hold via text. Never click links or share data with unsolicited contacts. Report it straight away to Action Fraud or your phone provider, and block the number to stay safe. Deleting the message is spot on, but keeping a note for records helps if things escalate. Stay vigilant—phishing attempts are on the rise this time of year.
