BEWARE OF BIN STAMP
Stratford-on-Avon District Council is warning residents of a possible scam or prankster targeting the Council’s new wheeled bin refuse and recycling service.
The District Council has been receiving reports from different parts of the District of finding an ‘official looking’ stamp on the inside lid of their new wheeled bins and each time residents have reported that if they receive three of these stamps they may be refused collection of their waste or worst still fined.
“The District Council is not issuing fines and is certainly not stamping bins. We have had several residents phone in to inform us about this and each with the same story: claiming that if they receive three stamps they will either not have their rubbish collected or will receive a fine. We have also had reports of a gentleman wearing a high visibility jacket getting out of a white van and lifting the lids of the bins. We are very keen to reassure residents over this and ask that the stamps are ignored. Any attempt to extract money from residents through fraudulent fines should be reported to the Police as this is nothing to do with the Council and we are not issuing fines; please continue to use the service as normal,” says Robert Weeks, Head of Environment
So far the stamps have been reported in Stratford, Clifford Chambers, Quinton, Snitterfield, Dorsignton and Alcester. Any resident seeing their bins being tampered with should ring the Council hotline - 01789-260616. All District Council Officers and Refuse Operatives carry identification and will show it on request.

HMRC Scam - Be aware.
Clicking the link in the scam messages will open a bogus website that asks the user to provide bank account details. The fake site has been created to closely resemble the real HMRC website in order to fool victims into parting with their personal information. The site informs victims that they need to provide banking details so that the tax refund can be transferred directly into their account. However, there is no refund. Any details entered into the bogus web form can be harvested by the criminals operating the scam and used for fraud and identity theft.
HMRC has published information
A very similar tax refund scam was targeting Canadian residents in December 2006 and January 2007. Other tax refund scam messages have been directed against US residents and claimed to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Any email that claims to be from a tax department and asks you to click a link and provide personal information should be treated with caution. No legitimate government tax office is likely to provide tax refund information via an unsolicited email, nor would they ask recipients to follow a link and provide financial information.
Scammers use a large array of ruses designed to trick recipients into surrendering personal information. If you receive an unsolicited email from a government department, bank or other institution that asks you to click an included hyperlink and provide sensitive personal information, then you should view the message with the utmost suspicion. If you have any doubts at all about the veracity of the email, contact the institution directly to check before clicking links in the message or supplying information."
