A MAN pretending to be from Wiltshire Council is attempting to scam residents over the phone.
He has been contacting residents claiming he is conducting a survey about an accident the person on the phone has had.
A spokesperson from Wiltshire Council said: “Anything of this nature should be treated with suspicion as we would never cold call anyone by telephone or at someone’s door.
“We will also never request bank details, passwords or pin numbers over the phone.”
Such calls should be reported to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or via their website at actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud
