Warning over tax rebate scam
RESIDENTS have been warned of a Council Tax rebate scam, where a telephone caller offers a refund in return for bank details.
Other scams ask for a one-off admin fee to process the refund, the Valuation Office Agency revealed.
“This is outrageous and targets vulnerable people with false promises,” said VOA director of Council Tax Tim Eden. “People must not pay any attention to these crooks and should report such calls to the police.”
“Some of the callers are very aggressive and intimidating to make people pay up, but people should not be fooled into thinking these calls are legitimate. The VOA does not ask people for financial details.”
