City officials warn of phone scam

City officials say local residents should be aware of a local phone scam where the caller represents himself as someone with Publisher's Clearing House.

City Administrator Mark Bryant said police have received information about several local calls with the same method of operation. The caller passes himself off as a legitimate rep of PCH and asks for no personal information, but does at the end of the call request a payment to cover taxes for a cash award.
