Niles police urges residents to beware of scam
NILES — Police are warning city residents to be on guard against scam phone calls that have been going to residents the past few days telling them they are behind on their utility payments and asking for personal information.
The Niles Utility Department has not been making the calls, and residents are urged to report the information to police at 330-652-9944 and the utility department at 330-544-9000, especially if they are able to obtain any information on the caller, such as a phone number, city Police Chief Rob Hinton said.
