🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Perryton Police Department wants to make citizens aware of a scam currently circulating in our area.

Several individuals have reported receiving phone calls claiming to be from Xcel Energy. The caller states that your electric service will be disconnected within 30 minutes unless an immediate payment is made.

⚠️ This is a scam.

Xcel Energy will not typically demand immediate payment over the phone or threaten disconnection within minutes. Scammers often pressure victims to pay using gift cards, prepaid debit cards, cryptocurrency, or other unusual payment methods.

If you receive one of these calls:
✅ Hang up immediately.
✅ Do not provide personal or financial information.
✅ Do not make any payments requested by the caller.
✅ Contact Xcel Energy directly using the phone number listed on your bill to verify your account status.

Please share this post to help protect friends, family, and neighbors from becoming victims of this scam.

If you believe you have been targeted or have fallen victim to a scam, contact the Perryton Police Department.

⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️

During National Police Week, we recognize the dedication and sacrifices our officers make each day for our community.
Our officers leave their families behind every day and night to help protect yours. This is more than a job — it’s a calling. It takes a special kind of person to run toward danger while others run away from it.
This week, we encourage our community to thank an officer when you see them. The Perryton Police Department is proud to have a dedicated team committed to keeping our community safe.
Thank you to all law enforcement officers for your service, courage, and commitment. 💙
