Scam warning from Winfield police

Winfield police said on Friday – We have received two calls this morning regarding a scam making the rounds in our area. A person claiming to be with Evergy is calling area residents telling them they’re headed to cut off their utilities if payment is not made over the phone. Evergy does not provide services inside the city limits of Winfield, and the City of Winfield, KS customer service department does not call and demand payment over the phone for utilities. If you get a call like this, please hang up and do not provide any information to the caller.
