(KAIR)--Westar Energy is working to keep its customers safe.
That comes as scam attempts continue to be reported to the energy supplier.
According to a press release from the company, customers continue to receive phone calls from someone claiming to work for Westar.
The fake representative demands that the customer provide them with a prepaid card as payment, due to what the caller claims to be late payment on a bill. Saying service will be cut off, the fake employee claims the customer can avoid a service disruption by calling a number, which spoofs an actual Westar phone number, with the prepaid card information.
The company says the calls are clearly a scam, and they should be reported to either 800-383-1183 or local law enforcement.
