In the last 24 hours, the Junction City Police Department has received information that two local businesses have been contacted by unknown persons, who advised they represented the City of Junction City and that the business had an outstanding balance on their water account.
The unknown caller then attempted to get the victim businesses to pay those outstanding balances by wiring money to satisfy the unpaid amount. These calls are a scam and no representative from the City of Junction City would attempt to have a customer submit payment by wire for an outstanding water bill.
Anyone getting one of these calls should gather all information they possibly can from the caller such as caller ID and call the Junction City Police immediately at 762-5912.
