Claims to be a customer service number for UK Power Networks. I received a text message saying we had had a power cut but we had not. This was the help number given. When I checked UK Power Network, the number was not recognised.

Received a text from UKPN about possible power outage in my area. I have checked on UKPN website and I am not even in their coverage area. Looks like attempted scam.
