ALERT -- New Phone Scam Targets Duke Energy Customers in Indiana

FROM LOCAL SOURCES 

AREA WIDE -- Duke Energy is warning customers about a scam.

WTHI-TV reports the company has received numerous complaints from customers who received the scam call.

Company officials say the scammer tells the victim he is with Duke Energy and will cut off your services if you don’t pay over the phone.

Company officials say customers will typically get a late fee notice through the mail, not by phone.

Those same officials urge you to never give your personal information out to anyone over the phone.
