As we head into the new year it’s important to watch out for new scams.

Here’s one that you should be on the lookout for. This warning comes from the city of Rockford government:

“Community Water Up Date” signs have been seen around the city. These signs are not associated with the city of Rockford, and the city does not recommend calling the listed phone number.
An employee with the city of Rockford Public Works Department will:
1. Always be driving a clearly marked city of Rockford vehicle.
2. Always wear a city identification badge and will readily present it for closer inspection if asked.
If a you need to confirm workers are legitimate, call the city’s customer service center at 779-348-7300. If you feel threatened, please call 911.
