EREC Warns Members Of Telephone Scam
February 1, 2022
Escambia River Electric Cooperative is warning members of a telephone scam.
The utility said some some customers are receiving calls warning that they must a make a credit card payment over the phone to avoid a power interruption.
EREC said they never ask for credit card information over the phone. Customers can verify their account information online or by calling (850) 675-4521 or (800) 235-3848.
Florida Power & Light (the former Gulf Power) has warned customers of similar scams in the past.

What awesome humans to prey on people like that. I would give anything to watch them receive their karma.
Thanks for this PSA. You never know who is vulnerable out there. Some, especially the elderly, are easily bamboozled. Unfortunately, we all need to be skeptical of all calls from unknown sources.
