Text message saying they were from Gentoo Housing asking if I was on Universal Credit. Knew something wasn’t right as all contact from Gentoo Housing comes up on my phone as Gentoo even if I don’t have their number stored in my contact list.

I dont think Gentoo would message any of this, ive been with them for years and not once out of the blue been contacted to ask personal info via a message, not opened message and now blocked then googled number to see reports on this site and others going back to 2016 and loads of other housing associations named too. SCAM !!!!!

Hi (insert name) This is a message from (your housing Group.) Our records indicate that you are currently in receipt of Universal Credit. We are updating our records to ensure they remain accurate. If you are still receiving Universal Credit please reply YES. If you are no longer claiming Universal Credit reply NO. Thank You

Text from Gentoo housing asking if my relative was still receiving UC. I called Gentoo, it wasn't them, but it's only in the last couple of months that I've taken calls through my own phone for that relative, and Gentoo was not one of the places I switched out, so this must be a very recent data breach from a source connected to Govt/Benefits/Caring.
