GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin Public Service is asking its customers to be cautious if they get a phone call from them demanding payment.
The utility company says in recent days it has received about 40 reports of fraudulent callers trying to get money from WPS customers in the Green Bay area.
The callers claim to be from WPS and threaten to disconnect power unless a payment is made.
In one case, a customer fell victim to the call and paid hundreds of dollars.
If you receive a phone call like this, WPS recommends you hang up immediately and call the company directly at 800-450-7260 to check the legitimacy of the call.
