RESIDENTS are being warned to be aware of an email scam.
Cotswold District Council is alerting residents about the scam, following a tip-off from a resident.
The email message, claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs, informs the recipient that they are due a refund of council tax, and instructs them to click to submit a request for the refund.
However, the council has confirmed the message is not genuine and advises residents to delete it immediately.
