Scam: Council Tax Refund from Chiltern District Council
Another scam alert, this time in Chiltern District Council’s area.
Over the last few days Chiltern District Council has been contacted by residents who have received telephone calls informing them that the Government has arranged refunds of council tax of £7,000 for a limited number of people. The caller reads out their name, bank account number, and address. They then ask for the person’s debit card details so they can arrange payment.
There is no such Government scheme, this is a scam.
If you are contacted about a council tax refund please be careful about what information you give over the telephone. If you are unsure, hang up and call our revenues team on 01494 732074.
If you are entitled to a council tax refund, the council will send you a letter showing how much you are owed and will then send you a refund using information we already hold.
