Warning over Council Tax scam targeting Wrexham residents

Residents across Wrexham are being warned of a scam Council Tax text message currently doing the rounds.

The message claims that the local authority can offer them a refund on their Council Tax.

Wrexham Council are warning people that the text messages aren’t genuine and that it doesn’t send messages out to residents about their Council Tax.

One member of the public clicked on the link within the text message and they were taken to what looked like the Wrexham Council website. They were then asked for their bank details.

Remember don’t click on any links, never give any details – such as passwords or bank account numbers – and that you’re within your rights to ignore any suspicious messages.

If you think you might be in credit on your Council Tax account, there’s a very simple way to find out.

Just call up the council’s finance helpline on 01978 298992 or e-mail [email protected]

They’ll be very happy to check your account and give you any help you need.
