Council say they will never send links via text message to share your details
Peterborough City Council has warned residents over scam text messages being received by residents in the city.
The council urged residents not to click on the links, which say you may be eligible for a Cost of Living payment, payments from the Household Support Fund and false claims about council funded home repairs.
A spokesperson for the authority said: “We've had reports of several scam text messages. These include messages claiming you may be eligible for a Cost of Living payment, payments from the Household Support Fund and false claims about council funded home repairs. Please don't fall for these scams!
Please DO NOT click on any links or provide your personal details. We will NEVER send you a link to share your details.
“Stay safe: avoid clicking on suspicious links or accepting calls from unknown numbers.”
