The person recognised this as a scam and provided no details and police say they are also aware of energy discount scam texts circulating.Chair of Scamwise NI Partnership, PSNI Superintendent Gerard Pollock said: "Anyone can be targeted by a scam but, with rising energy costs, we've seen how here, and in other parts of the UK, how scammers are actively targeting those who are financially vulnerable in a bid to exploit an extremely difficult situation.
"This last one is really important, and it will really key in preventing these criminals gaining access to your money and you losing out, so it’s worth reiterating you should never transfer money to another account having received a call from someone you do not know."
