Warning to one area of Merseyside after bin scam

A warning has been issued to people living in one part of Merseyside following a scam.

Sefton Council sent out a warning to those living in the borough after it was made aware of people knocking on residents' doors claiming if they wanted their bins emptied they would need to pay them £25. The council confirmed it is a scam and the people are not part of the local authority.

The reports came from Litherland yesterday (July 20), with bins being collected in line with the normal schedule for each area. The council took to social media to warn people about the newfound scam.
