Phishing messages that appear to come from Engie and Fluvius and encourage you to apply for energy support are again circulating. The message comes across as weighty and sounds convincing but it is an attempted scam. Do you get a suspicious message about this bounty and are asked to click on a link or provide your bank details? Don't do this but forward the message to suspicious@safeonweb.be. We can get the suspicious links blocked. If you hover over the link without clicking, the real link will appear (see red box). You can then clearly see that it does not point to an engie.be or fluvius.bedomain.
So how can you apply for energy support?
The discount will be automatically settled via your energy bill.
