SCAM Alert!

Our Licensing Team has been made aware of a licence fee scam where fraudsters have contacted alcohol licence holders saying their licence is going to be "cancelled" unless a renewal payment is made.

The Council would not contact a licence holder to demand payment over the phone, all annual fee payment requests are made via invoice and follow-up reminders which detail methods by which the licence holder can contact us to make payment.

If a payment is late or a correspondence address has been changed and the Licensing Team has not been informed, a licence holder may be contacted by phone to investigate. Payment would not be requested during this call, rather contact information would be obtained in order to redirect the invoice.

Should you receive a call that you believe to be fraudulent, please make no payments instead contact Staffordshire Moorlands Licensing Team at licensing-1@staffsmoorlands.gov.uk to enquire and confirm.
