Bowling Green Police are warning area residents of a phone scam.
Someone is contacting customers of Bowling Green Municipal Utilities and claiming their power will be disconnected unless they pay a fee.
Bowling Green Police Public Information Officer Ronnie Ward says these types of scams are fairly common.
"The Warren County electric department has also had this happen," Ward told WKU Public Radio. "I had one person tell me their phone company told them they were going to cut their service off it they didn't pay the late fee."
Ward says if anyone receives such a call, hang up and contact the company the caller claims to be representing to verify the information.
According to BGMU, the utility does not contact customers by phone and all correspondence is done through the mail.
