CITY OF RUSSELL

RUSSELL–A city of Russell customer was called by a con artist claiming to represent our electric utility, threatening to cut off service in 30 minutes unless immediate payment was made.

The city of Russell does not conduct business this way. Late payment notices are sent via U.S. mail, disconnects for non-payment are not made after normal business hours and service personnel will not accept payment on-site.

As always, please call us at 785-483-6311 with any questions about your account.

Please report any scam attempts to the Russell Police Department at 785-483-2121
