Early Police Chief David Mercer and Brownwood City Manager Emily Crawford are warning residents of the two neighboring cities of a scam involving a caller claiming to be a city employee.
Mercer said in an email that the caller demands payment for water services by a credit or debit card. The city of Early does not use this method of collection for payments, the chief said.
If anyone receives these calls, Mercer urges him or her to immediately hang up and contact Early Police at 325-646-5322.
