Medway Council has been made aware of reported scam calls asking residents to apply for a Household Support Fund (HSF) grant.
Although reported by another authority, The Department for Work and Pensions has warned the scam calls could potentially be more widespread.
We would like to remind everyone we will not phone people to invite them to apply for the HSF, we never call from an unknown number, and we’ll never ask for bank or personal details over the phone.
Customers can call 01634 331500 or email householdsupportfund@medway.gov.uk if they have any concerns.
