Scammers are impersonating Eon, promising
Scammers are impersonating Eon, promising an £85 refund in an attempt to steal your details and money. Watch our exclusive video to see how this scam escalates.
As the UK’s energy crisis deepens and households are set to see a record 54% increase to the price cap this April, it’s no surprise scammers are impersonating energy providers to try and catch you out.

How to report a scam
- Forward phishing emails to [email protected] and any claiming to be from Eon to [email protected].
- Report scam texts to your phone operator by forwarding the message to 7726 for free.

- If you’ve found a fake website you can report it to the National Cyber Security Centre.
