In several of the calls, the scammer is asking people to take payment to a local business. Needless to say, these calls are not from the City Utility Office and you should not give the scammers money, banking account information, personnel information or take money to any location that the scammers suggest. If it seems strange, then it most likely is a scam.
Just a few tips to keep everyone safe:
The City of Harrisonville will never ask for your credit or debit card information over the phone.
Verify the person you’re speaking with is a City of Harrisonville employee by asking to see company identification or by calling Harrisonville City Hall before giving out personal or financial information to anyone who comes to your home, calls, text and/or sends an email requesting this information about your utility bill.
