The 4-County Electric Power Association is warning the public to be aware of potential scammers calling homes and businesses.
The company said on Monday the scammers will call to collect immediate payment on money owed or threaten to disconnect the customer's power service.
The Association says 4-County does not call members to collect payment and warns commercial and residential members to never give personal financial data to anyone who calls or visits seeking information.
“This is not the way we conduct business,” said 4-County System Security Coordinator Jimmie Daniels. “If you have any concerns about phone calls where individuals are claiming to be representatives of 4-County, please contact us.”
If you suspect you have encountered an attempted scam call, please contact the cooperative at 1-800-431-1544.
