The Kansas State University Police Department is warning the public to be aware of a possible scam affecting the area, according to a K-State press release.

In the scam, callers contact potential victims claiming to be officers calling to collect debts or money owed to the department.

The department will never call to collect money owed on past debts, according to the release.

A request for additional comment from the department was deferred until Friday morning.
