Another scam Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This message was posted on Nextdoor by a resident in Mortlake:"Just received a message from "GOVUK: We have identified you as eligible for a discounted energy bill under the Energy Bills Support Scheme.  You can apply via: https://energybills-project.com".  Initially I was excited but then realised it's a scam.  Please be aware, especially older folk like myself."Of course, the website address should ring alarm bells, but my goodness, these scams appear to be endless!

Thanks, Ivonne. I've had several texts of this form:
"NHS: You've been in close contact with someone who has recently tested positive. Order a test kit: www.arrange-test-kit.co.uk"
Again, the Domain is a giveaway plus the fact, to my knowledge, there's no test and trace bring done anymore!
Although the NHS didn't help by letting one service provider use a ".me" domain for vaccine bookings. (I had a discussion with a security adviser from NHSX at a networking event!)
