Bridgend council would like to make residents aware of reports of a recent Council Tax scam.
There have been instances where residents have received calls from an individual pretending to be from the council’s Council Tax department. The scam then informs residents that their payment is late due to insufficient funds.
They are then asked to hand over their bank details to avoid a late payment fee.
Residents are advised that this is not the normal process for handling of late payments and if in doubt end the call immediately and phone the council to confirm.
More information about scams is available on the Action Fraud website.
