The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) warns against fraudsters who claim to be operators of the Clean Air programme. Criminals call citizens and effort to extort individual data, including PESEL numbers. The Fund underlines that its employees never request specified information on the phone.
The NFOŚiGW receives more and more signals about cases of telephone attempts to extort individual data. The cheaters claim to be operators of the Clean Air programme or employees of the Fund implementing the programme. They effort to get delicate information from possible victims.
Fund does not request data over the phone
The National Fund categorically denies that its employees contact the beneficiaries to verify the data over the phone. "NFOŚiGW workers and programme operators do not request a PESEL number or another delicate data in a telephone conversation, do not contact beneficiaries for the intent of “data conversion” in this way, do not endanger to lose the grant in the absence of an immediate response" - stressed the Communication.
The Fund calls for specified cases to be reported to provincial environmental funds. You can besides contact the NFOŚiGW hotline at number 22 45 90 800 or study the case straight to the police if you have attempted fraud.
The program returned after 4 months
At the end of March this year, a fresh edition of the Clean Air program began after 4 months of break. As the representatives of the NFOŚiGW and the Ministry of Climate said earlier, irregularities were intended to be the main reason for temporarily stopping the adoption of applications.
The programme has undergone a thorough improvement to destruct abuse. The thermomodernisation grant can now be received for 1 home and the applicant must prove that he owns or co-owners the property for a minimum of 3 years. but for cases of inheritance.
New rules and controls
Some investments must be attended by operators conducting thermomodernisation from start to finish with homeowners. The maximum costs for individual elements of the investment were besides set to prevent price increases.
New in the programme is the request to carry out an energy audit of the building even before its thermomodernisation. At the end of the work, an energy performance certificate should be presented to show energy savings.
