Is this a con

Has anyone ever heard if this- I saw it posted up in Glasgow gum tree and I think my old mum might meet the criteria if its true. Anyone know if this is a scam

Sounds too good to be true mate. Esp the details they are asking for at end of 2nd pic makes it sound suspect.

if it was legit the local authority would know if such a deal existed.

Give them a call.

probably is mate although i cant confirm it government has promised something stupid to renew carbon emmisions by lots of percents in the next few year

[macmackem]

The only deal i know of is the ?400 pound cash back if you renew your boiler, to get this you need to complete the application form stating what type of boiler you have at present (to confirm that the boiler is on the replacement list to get the cashback), have a quotation from a Gassafe company who is going to replace the boiler.

You will get a voucher sent out to you, once the work has been carried out, you send the evidence of the replacement has been carried out and the voucher back and you will receive the money.

England have warm fron apparantly scotland have similar scheme cant find it tho ?3500 for people on benefit to bring heating systems insulation ect up to date


there is the english one and criteria

Warm Front by Warm Front

dont see why scottish would be different

EDIT

I read somewhere it was not for scotland but at the bottom it says available in scotland

[flyingpig]

Not sure about Scotland but true in England. It is to tackle fuel poverty and released under ECO scheme that companies are trying to replace failing older systems and it is done by postcode.

FP.

So not designed in any way to make the companies that sell them a nice big profit? I'm a bit of a cynic really.

[DogdySnigwirter]

Name and postcode is that not enough to look up more address details on the web. 192, Pipl etc. ?

Benefit details? Could they use the recently found address details to contact DWP and state a new address, maybe ??

Trading standards will know if this is a ligitimate offer.
If you do make contact spell your name different if you can ... Smith > Smyth and maybe Mr instead of Mrs etc.

wouldnt a government scheme use something other than gumtree ffs?

[GastonJ]

Yeah they'd advertise it exclusively in the Times, Australian edition.....

maybe not tbh


like them canvassers for loft insulation


firms can get work then charge eaga or warmfront whatever

As long as they are registered gas safe ect its in their interests to drum up business
