Warning about bogus calls
It has come to our attention that phone calls are being made to members of the public where the caller claims to be from the Citizens Information Board. The caller provides a reference number and a phone number which they claim can be used to collect a payment.
These calls do not come from the Citizens Information Board and are bogus.
If you receive such a call and you believe it to be bogus or a scam, do not call the number given and do not provide any personal information.
If you have been contacted by such a caller and provided personal information (such as your bank or credit card details) in response to the call, you should contact your bank or credit card company immediately.
