Residents in the area have recently reported a phone scam to Sedalia authorities.

According to a press release from the Sedalia Police Department, the caller appears to be coming from legitimate local numbers.

One person stated the number showed-up on her caller I.D. as coming from the City of Sedalia. When she returned the call, the number went to City Hall.

The phone scam is attempting to obtain credit card information from residents, by mimicking area phone numbers.
