Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) is warning its members of scammers who have been calling to demand immediate payment for services.
“The scammers claim that electric service will be disconnected unless the bill is paid immediately,” said Maxie Rozell, REC’s manager of safety, security and risk management. “In addition, some have claimed there is a problem with the electric meter that could result in a fire if payment for replacement is not made immediately.”
