Wash your hands!
2. A host of scams are starting to surface whereby scammers try to get you to pass on personal information such as card details, passwords, etc. See our Action Fraud page here for more on this t opic. Latest version (30th March) of this says it comes from British Gas - pay-up or get cut off!
