BEWARE OF TELEPHONE SCAM
On 06/10/2019 the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint of fraud. The suspect/caller stated they were from Duke Energy. The victim was told they were $500.00 overdue and if payment wasn’t made immediately, a technician would be out to shut off their power. The victim was instructed to go to a nearby store and purchase a MoneyPak Card. They were then instructed to call back and provide a code from the back of the card.
The call back numbers used in these scams may seem legitimate at first. They may even have an automated voice mail with prompts. Please be aware, companies like Duke Energy will not have a service representative call their customers for late payments. These legitimate companies will also not ask you to go to a store to purchase a money card and provide a code.
If you receive a call you believe to be suspicious, you can call the Duke Energy Customer Service number at 800-521-2232.
