GGF ALERTED TO SCRAPPAGE SCHEME SCAM

The GGF has been informed of a scrappage scheme scam with the fraudsters falsely claiming that the GGF offers rebates for old windows being replaced under Green Deal and ECO.

Nigel Rees, GGF Group Chief Executive commented, “To make the public aware of this scam and to try and prevent homeowners being duped, we will be issuing a statement to the media, Trading Standards and Action Fraud, stating that; the GGF neither operates nor funds any such scrappage scheme. We also urge anyone who has been a victim of a scam or has experienced scam callers to report them directly to Action Fraud.”

The GGF received information of the scam from two independent sources from a Trading Standards Officer at the recent Chartered Trading Standards Institute Conference and from a GGF Member.
