Scam text Scottish power ?

[DahliaRose]

My husband got a text last week from Scottish power saying that an appointment had been arranged for us for a smart meter.

We already have a smart meter which was installed by our last supplier. It had a link on it for handy tips to prepare but was ScottishPower.co.uk/ then some letters and number.

Husband thinks it's genuine and an upgrade but I contacted Scottish power through the chat service and they say they have no appointments showing for us!

ignore it and don't click on the link

It went to my husband. He said he didn't but not so sure!!

He also didn't tell me that they had phoned him before sending the text to arrange the appointment.

I called Scottish power and they have confirmed it is indeed a scam and no appointment has been arranged by them.

The text looked so convincing.

A secure web address starts https not http. Do not click on it!

Very clearly a scam. They can make sites appear like they're legit links but they're not
