Received a text claiming to be a DWP reminder with a link for winter fuel payment; the link redirected to Apple Pay. I clicked it, which let the fraudsters access my bank account and start withdrawing funds later that evening. I quickly contacted my bank to block the card, yet they still managed to take over £30 before the block took effect.

Expert Opinion
Picture this: a seemingly official text about a winter fuel payment lands on your phone, but it's a trap leading straight to financial peril. Such messages from unknown numbers often masquerade as government alerts from the DWP, only to funnel you towards dodgy payment systems like Apple Pay. Victims report quick access to bank details and unauthorised withdrawals, as happened here with over £30 lost before intervention. Always verify by contacting the DWP directly through official channels, never via provided links. Block the number immediately and report to Action Fraud. Enable two-factor authentication on banking apps to add layers of protection. Stay vigilant—scammers prey on trust in public services.
