Possible Phone Scam

POSSIBLE PHONE SCAM: We’ve received phone calls that scammers are contacting Tri-County members and demanding payment for their bill over the phone to avoid having their power disconnected. This is not a legitimate call from Tri-County and not in line with the cooperative’s procedures. While Tri-County EMC does use phone contacts to communicate important information, including past-due courtesy calls, members will not be forced to make a payment over the phone to avoid having their power cut off.

If you receive a call from someone claiming to represent Tri-County EMC who tries to force you to make a payment over the phone, please be aware that this may be a scam. If you are ever suspicious of a caller, hang up the phone and call Tri-County EMC before giving out any sensitive information. If you do receive a suspicious call, please report it to Tri-County EMC at 1.866.254.8100 and also report it to your local law enforcement.
