(STURGIS) – Another phone scam is making its way around Sturgis.

Sturgis Director of Public Safety Ryan Banaszak says the Police Division has received multiple calls from businesses, who say they have received calls from someone claiming to be from an electric company and threatening shutoff of service if their bill is not paid over the telephone immediately.

Banaszak says the City of Sturgis will never call, forcing immediate payment over the phone.

If you are concerned about the validity of a phone call from a company, you are encouraged to hang up and call the company back at their normal number.
