The Atlantic Police Department is warning the public about a phone scam. Police Chief Dave Erickson said today (Thursday), the some people are receiving calls from a man from Peoria, IL, who asks to sell advertisements for the “Atlantic Community Magazine.” Erickson says the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce is the only entity who will call for the magazine.

He advises that if anyone else calls for the magazine, do not give out any personal or bank information. If you have elderly family members, please advise them not to give out and bank or personal information, as well, to persons who call.
