SUMMARY: Scammers are pretending to represent Starkville utilities and are trying to take advantage of customers by posing as utility workers. They are sending emails claiming customers have overpaid and requesting completion of forms to receive credit, or threatening to turn off electricity if immediate payment is not made over the phone. Starkville utilities advises only paying bills through safe and secure methods, such as mail, online with e-checks or credit cards, automatic bank draft, in person at the office or via kiosk or dropbox. Customers should be cautious of any other payment requests to protect themselves from scammers.
