Cllr Stevenson is urging anyone who receives such an email to report it as a matter of urgency, she said:
“This email is one of a number of similar emails that have been sent out over the last few months informing people of an imminent tax refund, the sender is asking the recipient to update their bank details in order to receive the refund.”

I have forwarded the email I received to our DPP Manager and I will be speaking to the PSNI to encourage them to alert the general public to this very serious matter.
“At a time when money is scarce enough, innocent people do not deserve to be duped in such a callous manner.”
