“We would never contact you this way about a refund so please don’t click on the link or reply to these messages.

“This is bogus and criminal and on no account should anyone provide their bank details or any other personal details. Delete the message and spread the word to your friends and families to be aware of this scam.”

Contact Pendle Council on 01282 661818 or email [email protected] if you get one of these bogus text messages.
