(KNZA)--Brown County Sheriff John Merchant is alerting county residents of another scam circulating in the area.
Merchant said residents are being contacted by someone representing themselves as being from Evergy.
The caller is stating residents are behind on their utility bill and if payment is not made with 30 minutes, their electricity will be shut off.
Merchant said Evergy representatives said they have had many reports of this scam and the call is not coming from their company.
He suggest residents hang up immediately if they receive such a call.
If you feel you have been a victim of this scam, notify your local law enforcement immediately.
