(KNZA)--Rainbow Communications is not collecting cash payments through door to door solicitations.

That word comes from both the Doniphan County Sheriff's Office and the Brown County Sheriff's Office.

According to alerts sent by both offices, Rainbow is confirming that the attempts are a scam, as the company does not conduct business in such a way.

Anyone who is visited by the fake Rainbow representatives are told to contact law enforcement immediately.

Meanwhile, the Brown County Sheriff's Office is working to alert the public of a heavily reported text message scam alert.

According to Sheriff John Merchant, area residents have reported receiving a message telling them to visit a website in order to provide personal information, including social security numbers, in order to keep an unspecified account from closing.

Merchant says any particular account should be handled individually, with such unsolicited texts a likely scam to gain financial information.
