Beware of Bill Payment Scam
Lumbee River EMC would like to warn our membership about a coast-to-coast telemarketing scam offering bogus help with energy bills.
In the scam, residents are told that President Obama will help pay energy bills under a special federal program if they provide personal information, such as a bank routing number or their Social Security number.
Lumbee River EMC urges members to guard their personal accounting and banking information and never share this information with family, friends or strangers. Several local individuals have already fallen prey to this scam. If you are unsure or have questions about a person or program offering help with your electric bill, please contact our office.
