Email Scam
Perthshire residents are being warned of an email scan after a Perth woman's email account was hacked while she was on holiday in America. A hoax email was send from her account claiming she had been robbed and required financial assistance from friends and family to get home. It went as far to say that the authorites where not being supportive and that she was in a distressed state.
A spokeswoman for Tayside police said, "It's important that before you respond to any email like this that you check the authenticity an validity of the claims being made."
Refuse Bags
Perth and Kinross Council is currently collecting only green lidded bins, general waste, from residents and businesses. This arrangement has now been extended to Sunday 19 December to allow as much waste to be collected as possible before the festive arrangements begin. Residents and businesses should not present their blue and brown lidded bins during this time as they will not be collected.
In addition, the Council will collect bagged waste during this period. This move is aimed at helping residents to take their waste to a suitable collection point when it is not possible to put out their green lidded bin.
