REC urges members to be alert for phone calls from scammers who claim to be from REC stating that accounts are overdue.
If you receive a suspicious call, please keep the following in mind:
* REC does not use collection agencies to contact members by phone.
* Employees from REC do attempt to contact members with delinquent payments to warn them they are subject to disconnection, but representatives do not demand immediate payment.
* If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be an REC employee demanding immediate payment, report the suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
If you are uncertain if a call you received came from a legitimate REC representative please call REC directly at 1-800-552-3904 to confirm.
