THAMES VALLEY COMMUNITY MESSAGING - Amersham - G-11/052 19th November
Chiltern District Council wish to make you aware of a current scam where residents have been receiving telephone calls informing them they qualified for a Council Tax refund. The caller then asked for bank account details to enable the payment to be processed.
Similar types of attempted fraud have been reported involving other public bodies and private sector firms, in the form of e-mails. Occasionally the caller requests a fee for the service.
Chiltern District Council wish to make it clear they would never use telephone or e-mail to request details of bank accounts to refund overpayments of Council Tax. Neither would it charge for such a service.
If you are entitled to a council tax refund, the council will send you a letter showing how much you are owed and offering the option of either deducting the amount from your next council tax bill or providing a refund.
If you are unsure if a caller is genuine, ask them for their name, job title and extension number and then call the Revenue and Benefits Department at Chiltern District Council 01494 732078 on 01494 732079.
