On Monday , August 21, 2017, the Thurmont Town Office received several complaints from citizens/businesses reporting a scam. The citizens reported that they received a call with a Town of Thurmont caller ID showing up. The Caller also made reference to CAO Jim Humerick and advised the citizens/business that they owed the Town money for a delinquent Utility Bill. The complainants were threatened that their Electric would be cut off unless they paid immediately. Residents should be aware of this scam and should always contact the Town Office or Thurmont Police Department for verification. Citizens should not send money or authorize any transfer of funds to an unknown Caller without performing verification.
