    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.

        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.

            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.

              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.

                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?
                  Fave replies from various threads

                  1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
                  2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
                  3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                      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

                      btw it says on the bottom of that link scotland too but i did read somewhere scotland has its own scheme its the same though
