A new try at duping Seneca utility customers

A new (and deplorable) attempt is being made to cheat Seneca utility customers.  A telephone caller tells customers they are on the disconnect list and will lose service in 30 minutes.  Here’s what Light and Water is saying about the scam:  “Please be aware that Seneca Light and Water will never demand payment immediately over the phone and we do not tell our customers that we will disconnect their service in 30 minutes.  We do have an automated message that tells you if you are in danger of being disconnected, but we never disconnect utility service on the same day you receive that automated notice.”  Here’s the advice to anyone getting the scam call:  hang up immediately and call Seneca Light and Water Customer Service at 864/885-2723.  Feel free to also call the police.
