Be aware of a new energy rebate scam doing the rounds across Sussex.

Criminals are contacting people by phone asking for their bank details saying this is required for them to receive the Government’s £150 energy rebate.

Councils will never ask you to give your bank details over the phone. If someone does ask you, hang up immediately.

If your account is paid by direct debit then the council will already have your bank details on record and if you’re not on a direct debit scheme, the council will send you a letter in the post.
