Scams
Unfortunately, energy scams have become increasingly common, and it is essential to be aware of them to avoid being caught out. Scammers often impersonate legitimate energy/ retrofitting companies and offer deals that appear too good to be true. They may request personal or financial information or even attempt to gain access to your home. To safeguard yourself, always verify the identity of the caller or company before disclosing any information or granting access to your property. If you are uncertain, you can contact your energy supplier directly using the phone number on your bill or their official website or the Thanet District Council’s Home Energy Team. Remember that it is better to be cautious than to risk being defrauded, and if something seems suspicious, report it immediately.
