A new council tax scam is targeting people by email.

Tandridge District Council have warned scammers invite people to click on a link to access money owed in a tax refund.  Victims are then asked to submit personal details, including their bank account.

The email is from ‘Alison Walsh’ but signed with a different name – ‘Andrew Walsh, Head of Communication Services’.  The email is also sent from an ‘@tax.com’ account which is not a council or tax email service.
