“In these cases, the business owners were told that unless they made immediate payments, their power would be turned off,” Lebanon police said in a news release issued on Monday.
One business was told to purchase prepaid debit cards and provide the PINs to make payment.
Officials have confirmed the calls are scams and are asking people to contact police if they receive this type of call.
“If you receive any calls from a utility company claiming you are delinquent when you are not, hang up and contact your utility company through a verified number, either from a bill or other correspondence or a number from the company’s official website,” police said. “Under no circumstances should you purchase a prepaid card and provide the PIN, (as) this is almost always a clear indicator that this is a scam.”
