Press release:- Bogus caller targeting South Northamptonshire residents

A bogus caller is making calls to residents in South Northamptonshire telling them they are due a council tax refund. The caller asks for personal details, including bank account information.

This is a bogus call and not one from South Northamptonshire Council. We will not contact residents by phone offering a council tax refund. We also strongly advise against giving out personal information to such callers.
