(KAIR)--The Atchison County Emergency Management Office is not involved with the sell of magnetic, emergency contact phone number directories.
That word comes in a news release issued by Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter.
In the statement, Lanter said Atchison County residents, and businesses, are being called by an unspecified company asking for sponsorship money for the magnets.
The caller indicates that the company is working with Atchison County Emergency Services and apparently makes the claim that the magnets are to be distributed to all county residents.
Lanter said his office does not have any involvement with magnets, nor do City of Atchison emergency services.
Lanter said no money should be given to the callers and that the solicitation should be considered a scam.
