Scammers capitalising on cost of living crisis, police warn

Scammers and cyber criminals are attempting to capitalise on the cost of living crisis, according to North Wales Police.

Through the online Alert Network, say one of the latest scam e-mails pretends to be from British Gas and offers a non-existent refund of £315.

Officers advise: "Don’t click on the link in the email as it will lead to a malicious website that is designed to steal your financial and/or personal information.

"If you think that an email you received from British Gas could be genuine, you should contact British Gas using their official contact number from their website to verify the authenticity of the email."
