According to information distributed by the Ellis Alliance on Tuesday, there is a potential advertising scam circulating via telephone.

“It has come to the Ellis Review’s attention that some of our advertisers and subscribers in Ellis may have received a call from someone saying they are representatives from our newspaper,” the Review staff said in a message to the chamber. “That is not the case.”

The Kansas Press Association said it had received complaints that an organization called “That’s Great News is calling advertisers and subscribers and claiming to be a representative of the local newspaper.”

The KPA said it plans to file a complaint this week with the Kansas Attorney General.
