Moray Council’s trading standards team is warning local residents not to be taken in by the latest telephone scam to hit the area.
A number of complaints have been received about telephone calls offering to help claim compensation against the health authorities for medical negligence.
The caller, who claims to be from the non-existent Elgin County Council, asks for money up front.
Trading standards manager Peter Adamson said: “Our advice is that these calls are clearly part of a scam and we suggest that people put the phone down if they are contacted.
“Anyone with concerns about this or any other suspicious telephone call should contact Citizens Advice on 03454 040506.”
