Evil cold calling scammers target council tax rebate

PEOPLE are being warned to watch out for heartless scammers who are coldcalling people asking for their bank details.

Councils are warning that criminals are using the government's £150 Council Tax Rebate scheme to con people into handing out their personal details.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the rebate scheme to help people with the rising cost of energy bills earlier this year. Anyone who lives in a Council Tax Band A to D home is entitled to the automatic £150 payment.

Individual local authorities are responsible for making the payments and councils are now urging households to beware of a scam targetting those eligible for the scheme.
