Local utilities have joined utilities across the nation to raise awareness of utility scams with Utility Scam Awareness Day, Wednesday, November 14. Utility Scam Awareness Day will be supported by a week-long social media campaign.
A prominent way to scam people continues to be by telephone calls. Local utilities – Benton PUD, Franklin PUD, City of Richland Energy Services and Benton REA – urge customers to be aware of unusual and unlawful requests by phone.
Benton PUD wants you to be aware that scammers are out there. It's a new day but not a new scam.
