Scam Alert—Wealden Council, 17 January 2019
Wealden District Council: Scam alert warning
This is not an email from Wealden District Council.
We have had a number of calls from members of the public who have received an email from a ‘Andrew Walsh, Head of Digital Communication Services’ advising them that their council tax account is in credit and please click on the link…
Please ignore the email. In cases where council tax is in credit we would send written notification and a revised council tax statement.
Other reports are of an email asking for payments because of council tax arrears.
Wealden District Council will never make an unarranged phone call to ask for your bank details.
Please never give out information about your bank account over the phone unless you are absolutely sure who you are talking to.
If you have any concerns, please contact us on 01323 443322.
