Crawley Borough Council has warned people to be on the alert for scammers claiming to be from the town hall.

A spokesman said:

“We’ve received reports from residents that they have been called by someone claiming to be from Crawley Borough Council, saying they are in rent arrears and asking to take payments.”

The police have been informed.

If you suspect a call is not legitimate, hang up.

If you do need to make a payment, check the council’s website for your housing officer’s contact details via crawley.gov.uk/…/your-tenancy/housing-officers .

More information on how to spot a scam and how to report it can be found on the Sussex Police website www.sussex.police.uk/advice .
