Phone Scam in Lamar

Today a citizen in the city of Lamar was contacted by the phone number 417-322-6324. They told the citizen that they were with the City of Lamar Disconnect Department. 

They told the citizen that they owed $1,000 and was overdue on his payment and would be shut off if payment was not made. The citizen was then told they could not accept payment over the phone and to go to Casey's and get a money order. 

This is a phone scam that had occurred. The City of Lamar will not contact you personally and tell you how to get a payment to them. 

If you receive a call from this number this will be a scam call. Please do not make any purchases of money orders as they request.
