High pressure tactics
Scammers will pressure you, creating a sense of urgency. Claims that your power will be disconnected without immediate payment are common with utility scams.
Sketchy payment methods
Scammers may ask for unusual payment methods like gift cards or cryptocurrency. In these cases, it’s likely a scam.
Dodgy communication
Whether an email, text message or letter, utility scams typically include poor grammar, spelling errors or unusual email addresses. These are common warning signs of a scam.
