​We have recently been made aware of a scam in our area where someone claiming to be from APS threatened to disconnect their power. Please read Common signs of a scam: Threat to disconnect. Scammers often contact customers claiming their utility bill is past due and service will be shut off unless payment is made right away. Demand for immediate payment. Scammers often pressure customers to make payments immediately or face disconnection. Request for a prepaid card. Ways to protect yourself: Never purchase a prepaid card Don't fall for threats Call your utility to verify. NEVER use the call back number they give you. Some scammers can mirror the actual name and number of your utility on your caller ID. This is known as spoofing. It might look real, but don't fall for it.
