The Reed City Police Department says individuals claiming to be representatives of Consumers Energy are calling residents stating their electric service will be cut off unless the bill is paid immediately.

A call back number that is answered as “Customer Service” is given and officials at Consumers says it is a scam.

They say if you believe you have received a scam call do not give out any personal information or money over the phone and contact Consumers Energy directly to verify the validity of the phone call.
