Don't Get Caught by Council Tax Bogus Callers

Local residents have alerted us to a scam in which bogus callers have been trying to obtain bank details by claiming they're from our Council Tax office.

The caller claims that the information is required so they can make a refund, or to check that payments have been received. There have even been some cases of visitors calling at people's homes and trying the same scam.

We will never contact you in this way to ask for this sort of information. If you receive such a call or visit, then please do not disclose any information.

Our advice is to always keep your bank and credit card details safe and never give out your PIN number.

If you are unsure if a caller is genuine, ask them for their name, job title and extension number and call the Council switchboard on 01865 249811.

Anyone who believes they may have been contacted by a bogus caller should report this to Consumer Direct who are a government funded body that co-ordinate information about scams of this sort.
