People across Northern Ireland who will receive £600 energy payment vouchers are being urged to be vigilant and on their guard against scammers looking to cash in.
Chair of ScamwiseNI Partnership, Chief Superintendent Gerard Pollock said: "People who pay their bills quarterly or use pre-payment meters will receive these vouchers in the post, along with an accompanying letter. "The easiest way to stop a scam is to apply five rules - if you receive a call out of the blue or believe it to be suspicious, hang up the call immediately and never call the number back; always delete texts requesting personal information or bank account details; never click on links in text messages, or respond to unsolicited texts; never ever transfer money at the request of someone you do not know.
