Fayette Electric Cooperative is urging caution this week after its members were specifically targeted in a recent phone scam. Unknown callers, claiming to be cooperative employees, are demanding immediate payment for alleged delinquent bills with the threat of disconnecting the member’s electric service.
These calls are part of a utility fraud scheme that has been a growing concern for utilities across Texas and the nation for the past several years.
If you should receive a suspicious call, hang up and call Fayette Electric Cooperative at 979-968-3181 to verify the balance on your account and report the details of the call.
