​City of Maryville Customer Service Department is warning community members of a phone scam it has recently been made aware of. The caller claims to be with the city and demands immediate payment of a delinquent utility account or face disconnection of services.
 
No government official will contact a citizen to demand immediate payment or to threaten them. If you have questions or want to report a call, use your keypad to dial customer service at 865-273-3456. 
 
Never return a suspicious call that has come into your phone. No government or utility will ever take a payment in the form of a gift card. Scammers use fear tactics to persuade people to forward money urgently. Be suspicious of callers who demand immediate payment for any reason. Never give personal or financial information to someone who calls, texts or emails you. Immediately report the activity to your local law enforcement agency. There will always be new ways for criminals to scam money from people. Be alert and suspicious and call a trusted agency if in doubt.
