SCAM WARNING: Cold callers targeting people in Burnham and Highbridge
PEOPLE in Burnham and Highbridge are being urged not to give out personal information following several reports of cold callers pretending to be from Somerset County Council.
Bogus calls are being made by a person claiming they are from Somerset County Council, asking for information for an NHS survey relating to an accident.
Somerset Trading Standards say that if you receive a call which sounds similar to this, don’t give out any personal details and end the call right away.
A spokesman said: “You can report the call to Trading Standards on 03454 040506, or contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
“We are anxious for people not to be caught out, so please be on your guard for this, or any other bogus caller.”
