How scams that copy regulators, ombudsmen and scam services work
Ofgem warns that scammers pretend to be from Ofgem, and says it will never sell you energy, ask for your bank details or come to your home. The FCA says pension scams often start with attractive offers to transfer or release your pension.
Ofcom says scammers can fake the number that appears on your phone, which is called spoofing, and that they imitate UK numbers to look like a trusted person or organisation. Knowing details about you does not make a caller genuine.
