Phone Scam Warning

There always seems to be new phone scam and now there is one that
involves electricity bills. At another utility in the Seattle area,
customers received calls from someone who sounded official, stating that
the customer was behind in their bill and if the bill wasn't paid in
three days, the power would be disconnected. The caller then gave the
customer the option of taking care of it immediately with a credit card
in order to fraudulently obtain the customers credit card number.
Please note: Benton PUD representatives do not call customers to request
a credit card number. The customer can only use their credit card if
the customer has initiated the call to Benton PUD.

If you receive a call like this, please contact our customer service
immediately at 582-2175 or email us at questions@bentonpud.org
