A warning to utility customers issued earlier this week by Lieutenant Bill Wright and the Payson Police Department was sounded again at last night’s city council meeting. “We have had a scam that has been going on,” said David Tuckett, Payson City Manager, as the January 7 meeting got underway. “There are people that will call businesses and indicate that they need to make a [utility] payment over the phone or they are going to be shut off.”
According to Mr. Tuckett, Payson City Power does have a communication system which they use to inform customers of past due accounts. “[But] it will come from a city personnel,” he said.
He implored anyone contacted by a source outside Payson City’s system not to make a payment by phone or maile, and to contact the police.
