Council Tax Rebate Warning |
|
Fraudsters are targeting residents in East Yorkshire to try to get them to give out their bank details with the promise of a council tax rebate.
Householders have been getting calls from people claiming to be from East Riding of Yorkshire Council or a central claims court in London.
They then ask for bank account or card details to credit the person's account.
An East Riding Council spokesman said it "would like to make it very clear it does not operate in this way".
Colin Briggs, trading standards services manager at East Riding Council, said: "Anyone who is due a refund on their council tax bill will be well aware of it as they will have been in contact with either the council or the valuation office agency.
"If you receive an unexpected call concerning council tax it is almost certain to come from someone who wishes to commit fraud against you." |
