Council Tax fraud call
"Falkirk Council's Finance Services wants to warn local residents to be aware of an attempt to secure bank details illegally by claiming to be offering Council Tax refunds.
"Falkirk Council was told by a customer that someone alleging to be from the Council called to advise that he had overpaid his Council Tax and that he would be refunded if he provided the caller with details of his bank account.
The call was not made by Falkirk Council and we would advise anyone who receives such a call not to disclose any information about their bank account.
