Virgin Media O2 Customers Warned of Fraudulent Text Messages

There has been a rise in the number of adverts we see on social media and online urging individuals to apply for Government funded energy efficiency schemes, however, in new reports Virgin Media O2 warns customers of a surge in fraudulent texts related to energy efficiency schemes, particularly ‘ECO4’, aiming to deceive individuals into disclosing personal or financial information.

Recipients are being advised to report any suspicious texts and seek assistance from energy providers or local authorities if struggling with energy bills. Murray Mackenzie, Director of Fraud at Virgin Media O2, stresses the importance of vigilance against evolving scam tactics. Reporting suspicious messages to 7726 can aid in preventing scammers from targeting victims.
