SAN ANTONIO – CPS Energy is warning its customers of an active scam in which a caller demands payment or threatens to shut off utility service.
The scam alert was shared on social media Saturday afternoon.
“We have been receiving reports today from customers saying that a CPS Energy rep is asking for payment or their service will be disconnected. This is a SCAM,” the post reads. “We’ll never call to demand payment or personal info from you.”
If you receive one of these scam calls, there are a few steps you should take, according to CPS:
-
Record the phone number the person is telling you to call back. Do not trust that the number is a CPS Energy phone number because it probably is not.
-
Report the phone numbers to our Customer Service at 210-353-2222 for residential and 210-353-3333 for commercial customers.
If you fall victim to this scam or another, CPS urges you to call local law enforcement. If you believe you’re in immediate danger, call 911.
