Expert Opinion
Receiving unsolicited texts or calls from unknown numbers claiming to represent the DWP about winter fuel payments, especially involving multiple recipients, screams scam. These fraudsters often target vulnerable folks with promises of benefits to extract personal details or payments. The GDPR breach mentioned highlights how they're mishandling data illegally. Never share sensitive info over such channels—hang up or block immediately. Report to Action Fraud or the Information Commissioner's Office to help stop them. Stick to official DWP websites or verified contacts for any legitimate claims; video calls on WhatsApp are a red flag for impersonation tactics.
