Some business customers of Smithville Electric System have been targeted in a scam in which callers demand payment of overdue bills under threat of having their power turned off.
“We have had 6 businesses this morning (Tuesday) receive a call from a 1-866 number saying if they don’t pay their electric bill within the hour their power will be disconnected,” said Vicky Snow, Office Manager of Smithville Electric System.
Smithville Electric System urges customers who receive suspicious billing calls to avoid giving out any information, hang up and call the SES office if you have questions.
