PEOPLE across Argyll and Bute are being warned to be aware of scam calls and emails about council tax. The advice comes from Argyll and Bute Council’s trading standards team after reports of attempted frauds around the region.
One resident reported a call from what appeared to be a London- based number, insisting the household was paying the wrong level of council tax.
There have also been reports of callers offering refunds, while others have been sent emails asking them to provide information via an online link to claim money back. People who get a call are told they will get the refund if they pay £74 and are then asked to call a number.
