Alcoa is warning residents about a scammer who is calling residents and asking to collect money on an account.

The city says it does not call customers to collect utility payments, and if there are issues with any payments, it will either come via an automated message or through an online payment system.

The city asks that anyone who receives a call demanding immediate payment should simply refuse to pay and report any suspicious calls to Alcoa Utilities.
