Beware of scams


Beware of a scam occurring in our service area and across the country that uses the threat of service disconnection to convince customers to purchase prepaid credit cards, money orders or wire money and provide that information over the phone. Other scams request payment by email. They sometimes threaten to disconnect service in the next hour or two.
