Warning as council tax scammers target people online
SCAMMERS are targeting people with e-mails promising council tax refunds in exchange for personal details.
Ribble Valley Borough Council is due to issue council tax bills and has been contacted by residents concerned about e-mails or texts claiming to be from the Government informing them that they are due a council tax refund. The scam promises refunds of hundreds of pounds in exchange for credit or debit card details. Mark Edmondson, Ribble Valley Borough Council’s head of revenues and benefits, said: “At first glance the emails or texts appear genuine, but they are far from it and by clicking on the words, Refund Form, you will be forwarded to a bogus web page requesting personal details.
