Licensing fees scam alert
Check before you pay!
The Institute of Licensing has issued a warning to licensees to remain vigilant against fraudulent licensing officers attempting to scam businesses.
Reports have emerged of individuals posing as licensing officials and demanding immediate payment for licensing fees, often through suspicious methods such as bank transfers or cash payments.
Derby City Council licensing officers will never do this.
Make sure you verify who the licensing officer is claiming to be and please get in touch with us to check this. Email us at licensing@derby.gov.uk.
