PEOPLE in Hampshire are being warned about bogus calls where the caller claims residents are in the wrong council tax band and paying too much.
Hampshire County Council Trading Standards said the caller promises they can look into the matter for fee, which is false.
Anyone wanting to check their Council Tax band should call the Valuation Office Agency free on 0300 0501 501 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm).
For information on scams, or to report a matter to Trading Standards, call 03454 040506.
