LOS ANGELES — The Los
Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) cautions customers to
beware of impostors posing as utility personnel making service-related
telephone calls. These impostors seek to obtain money from customers
over the phone by claiming the customer has an overdue bill. The
impostors tell the customer to go to a nearby pharmacy and call a
specific telephone number back with the customer’s financial
information.
An increasing number of LADWP
customers are reporting being targeted by this scam. The Department is
aware of the scam, and urges customers to be vigilant in protecting
their personal and financial information. The LADWP will never call a
customer seeking personal banking information.
To report suspicious activity to the Department: call LADWP Security Services at (213) 367-3373 or (213) 367-9111, or email SecurityServicesWebNotification@ladwp.com, or visit www.ladwp.com and click "Security Issue" under "Contact Us." |
