BLP scam in Marquette area

MARQUETTE, MI--   The Marquette Police Department is warning residents about another scam making the rounds.

Officers say the scammer calls and claims to be an employee of the Marquette Board of Light and Power.  The caller says the victim’s power will be disconnected if payment is not made, and they provide a phone number to pay the bill.

Police say the call is a hoax.  They advise anyone who gets such a call not to give any financial or personal information over the phone, then contact the BLP. 

Anyone with questions or concerns can call Marquette Police at 228-0400.
