Utility companies are warning
customers of a new utility bill scam that is occurring across the nation, in
which scammers try to convince customers that they are eligible for an energy
credit offered by President Obama. These scammers impersonate utility company
employees and call customers saying that to apply for the energy credit,
certain personal information must be given. These scams sound easy to avoid,
but the calls can sound legitimate as the impersonators will have the utility
company name and some personal information about the customer. The best piece
of advice utility companies are giving out is to not give out personal
information that the utility company should already have. If you are suspicious
that a scammer might be contacting you, hang up on the call and call your
utility company right back. They will be able to tell you whether or not they
had previously contacted you. To read more about this scam, click the link here.
