Fraudsters are calling people claiming they may be eligible for a Council Tax refund, before asking them for their bank account details.
Police say no-one they've spoken to has given out their information but anyone who has, should contact their bank immediately.
In one instance, a caller posed from a company advising that properties are being re-valued for council tax purposes and then asks questions about the age of the property, how long they have lived there and if there is street lighting.
Teignbridge District Council may occasionally ask for payment details by phone when seeking payments for overdue tax bills, but will always be happy for residents to phone back via the Council’s switchboard, or use the automated payment line on 01626 215353.
