Tips to Avoid Energy Scams
March 4th, 2025
Be cautious of fraudulent websites pretending to be an electric utility. Scammers often create look-alike sites to steal your personal or payment information. Always type your utility’s official web address directly into your browser instead of clicking email or text links. Watch for signs of a secure website, such as “https://” in the address bar and a padlock icon. If you’re ever unsure, call your utility company using the official phone number listed on your bill to verify payment or account details. Stay vigilant to protect yourself from utility fraud.
