The Bangor Water District says scammers are targeting its customers.

The water district says customers have been receiving calls about late payments or payments that can’t be processed.

The caller asks the customer to purchase a prepaid debit card and then call back with the card information.

Officials say the water district does not contact customers whose accounts are in good standing, and if customers receive suspicions calls they should hang up and call the water district directly.
