The Woodland Police Department is warning the public about a phone scam in which the caller claims to be Woodland Finance Department, saying that a water-bill payment is overdue and urging victims to call a number to settle the amount.
“The City of Woodland Finance Department will NEVER call you about an overdue water bill. They send out notices by mail and hang things on your door if you are in danger of having your water shut off,” police said Friday in a Facebook post.
“Please share this with friends and neighbors and remember to always call a known customer service number that you find on your monthly statements or a city department phone number if you receive these types of calls; do not call the number that they ask you to call,” the post says.
The phone number for the Woodland Finance Department is 530-661-5831.
