Important Warning: Winter Heating Subsidy Scam Targeting Vulnerable Residents

Age UK Westminster is warning clients to stay vigilant after reports of a scam message offering fake “Winter Heating Subsidy” benefits. The message claims that recipients are eligible for heating subsidies, but it directs them to click a link to apply. This is a scam and is not affiliated with the UK Government or any legitimate subsidy program.

Key Details to Look Out For:

• The message comes from an unverified number and includes a link to a non-governmental website.
• It includes misleading language, implying scarcity by stating "Once the number of applicants is enough, we will stop issuing winter heating subsidy benefits."

Please do not click any links or provide personal information. If you have received this message, report it to Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040 or via their website.

At Age UK Westminster, your safety is our priority. Share this alert with friends and family to prevent them from falling victim to this scam.
