An old scam revolving around utility payments is circulating again.
The Lyon County Emergency Communications Center says it’s getting reports of people claiming to be with Evergy — but telling customers they have 30 minutes to pay bills or else service will be shut off.
Evergy says the company will never demand payment on the same day of a potential disconnect.
Emergency Communications says you should never offer or verify any personal information like bank accounts, Social Security number, credit cards or debit cards. If you have, call the Emergency Communications non-emergency number at 620-343-4225 to file a report.
If you have questions about the status of your bill, call Evergy at 800-383-1183 or check your situation online at www.evergy.com.
