Advice Direct Scotland is urging everyone expecting to receive the £300 cost of living payment from the Department for Work and Pensions or HM Revenue and Customs over the next few weeks to watch out for scammers trying to trick them into handing over any personal or financial information.
The charity is urging people to report any suspected scams to its scamwatch service, which can then be shared with the relevant authorities. Top Money Stories Today Conor Forbes, director of policy with Advice Direct Scotland, said: “Hundreds of thousands of Scots households will start receiving the cost of living support payment, and it’s vital to remember that this will happen automatically - there is no application form to fill out for the money.
