West Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative has received reports from members who have received calls from scammers threatening to disconnect their electricity unless they make an immediate payment.
This is a scam. If you receive a call like this, just hang up and call your utility provider to check the status of your account.
Don’t give these callers bank account or credit card information and never agree to purchase a pre-paid debit card to settle a bill.
