Grant for new windows?

enginestar

(Apologies if this is the wrong forum to post... I thought it was the most relevant.)

I've seen a few ads for new double glazed windows - you can get upto £2500?

Are these genuine? I've clicked on a few. They want you to fill in details and give you name and phone.
That seems like a scam - just the presentation.

Someone told me the grants did exist, but where removed some time ago.
Are they back now or something??

Are there any reputable names I should watch out for?

Thanks.

Thanks for this @enginestar. Any chance you could add some screenshots here next time you spot them? (Making sure not to include any of your own personal information please.) Thank you,

Something like this? Appears that there are no government grants, these firms say they do a small amount of free windows but most people simply passed onto another window firm and have to pay. "Free" windows then funded by referral fees they get from those other companies......

From that second one:

The Help 2 Buy Windows Grant has nothing to do with the UK government; it is funded 100% by help 2 buy windows through the sale of leads to our clients.

It was 'Help 2 Buy' scheme. In their details they say 'not a government scheme'. It's hidden and not hidden. It's not the top line header, but then it's not buried in line 500 of T's and C's.

ALL positive comments on Trust Pilot are something like 'I got an appointment within minutes'.
I mean ALL positive comments! 🤦‍‍ 
Something wrong there I guess.

And I guess there are no 'free windows'?
