Energy rebate and Fraud
We ask households to stay alert as energy rebate schemes are being targeted by fraudsters and scammers.
Residents are being contacted by phone and asked to give their bank details to get their energy rebate payment. This is a scam.
Bromsgrove District Council are not calling residents about these energy rebate schemes and will not call you to ask for bank details over the phone.
