The Guymon Fire Department Fire Marshal’s Office is warning Citizens and Businesses of recent phone scams involving impersonators claiming they owe fees for missed inspections and requesting immediate payment to avoid citations or enforcement actions.
“This is in no way anyone acting as a representative of the Guymon Fire Department, City of Guymon, nor the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal Office”, said Guymon Fire Marshal Lt. Jason Bond. The Fire Marshal’s Office will never demand immediate payment over the phone, request payments through gift cards, prepaid debit cards, cryptocurrency, or threaten arrest for non-payment. In fact, Guymon Fire Marshal nor City Officials will not take any kind of payment in person. There are established procedures which city officials must follow.
We encourage anyone who receives a suspicious call to hang-up immediately and contact the Guymon Fire Department (580) 338-5536 directly to verify the information from a trusted phone number.
If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal, financial, or business information. Do not send money or make payments requested by the caller.
