A scam is impacting the City of Kiel.
City Administrator David Funkhouser says citizens have been getting calls from a number on caller ID shows “Kiel City Gov,” and when answered, it is a recorded message about funeral services.
It’s called “Caller ID Spoofing” to make it appear that the call is coming from the city government.
Funkhouser says if any resident gets a call like this, hang up.
He also tells residents that if they need to contact the city, they should look up their main number and call to talk with an actual person.
