SEDGEMOOR District Council says people have been receiving phone calls from tricksters claiming to be working for the council and asking for bank details.
The caller tells them they are due a reduction in the council tax band and asks for the details to make a refund.
Anyone worried about these types of calls can call the council on 0845-4082540.
