SCAM ALERT
MidAmerican Energy
Company is warning busi-
ness owners and the pub-
lic of a phone scam target
ing Latino customers in
Iowa.
Since the start of Febru-
ary, approximately 50
Spanish-speaking custom—
ers have reported receiv—
ing a call from someone
pretending to work for
MidAmerican Energy
who threatened to shut off
their power immediately if
payment was not made.
Unfortunater several cus-
tomers reported losing
money.
"Education is the best
way to put a stop to these
scams,” said Terry Ousley,
Vice president, customer
service for MidAmerican
Energy.
How the Scam Works:
The scammers generally
request payment in one of
two ways: either on the
phone using a credit card
or by calling back a specific
number, which often re—
sembles MidAmerican
Energy’s phone response
system, and paying with a
pre-paid (Green Dot) card:
MidAmerican Energy ac.
cepts many different
forms of payment. A spe-
cific payment method is
never insisted upon when
paying your bill.
The scammers are per-
sistent and aggressive.
They usersgphisticated
methods to trick, custom-
ers, including Caller ID
technology that makes the
call appear as if it is com-
ing from the utility when
it is not.
Customers should hang
up and call their local po- .
lice or MidAmerican En:
.ergy at 1-888-427—5632 if '
they receive a suspicious
call.
Red flags that it's a
scam:
1. The caller is threat-
ening immediate discon-
nection. Sometimes the
caller will claim a crew is
already en route to the
business to disconnect ser-
vice. MidAmerican En-
ergy makes several at-
tempts to contact custom—
ers regarding overdue
bills; disconnection is a last
resort, not a first step in the
process.
2. The caller insists on
a prepaid debit card (of-
ten a Green Dot card) as
the only acceptable form
of payment. Mid-Ameri-
can Energy accepts several
different forms of pay-
ment; a company cus-
tomer service representa—
tive can go over these op—
tions with customers.
3. The caller asks for
credit card numbers, ac-
count numbers, balances
or other personal infor-
mation. Mid American En-
ergy will-not ask you for
this information over the
phone. Customers should
never give out personal
information.
