KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (WGAN) Police in Kennebunkport are warning Mainers to look out for a scam involving Spectrum cable bills.

Police say scammers are calling residents claiming that their bills are overdue, and asking for credit card information or telling them to purchase a cash card, then threatening to shut off services if you don’t. Police warn anyone who receives the calls not to give out any personal or credit card information.

Police suggest that, if there’s anything suspicious about a call, to hang up, look up the number to Spectrum and call directly.
