Council Tax scam warning to North Kesteven residents
According to a council spokesman, cold callers have recently been contacting a number of elderly residents insisting that their Council Tax had been reduced. They suggest it is due to the properties being revalued, and that they would be eligible for a refund if bank details were provided.
NKDC says residents should always be careful if they are ever asked for their bank details from someone calling them, and where they have not initiated the call themselves.
