National Consumer Protection Week

LA GRANGE – Fayette Electric Cooperative is joining Utilities United Against Scams (UUAS) in supporting the Federal Trade Com mission's (FTC's) annual National Consumer Protection Week, March 3 through March 9, along with more than 100 federal, state, and local agencies; consumer groups; and national advocacy organizations. Utility impostor scammers pretend to represent electric, natural gas, water, and sewer utilities to steal customers' money and personal information. They approach customers through various methods, including texts, phone calls, in-person visits, and emails. Scammers often demand payment and threaten service disconnection, claiming a customer is past due on their utility bill.
