City of York Council is acting on reports of a scam in which phone calls have been received by local people claiming to be from the council regarding supposed accidents and aiming to gather personal detail from them.
The week before International Fraud Awareness Week, council has been informed that residents have been contacted by callers claiming to be from the Council and saying they were calling following an accident.
The numbers they are ringing from appear to be from York but are not.
Please, never give out any personal details to anyone who calls or emails you unexpectedly. Anyone concerned about the validity of an email or call should report it by calling 0345 4040506 or emailing public.protection@york.gov.uk
