WPS and WE Energies Customers Targets of Scams Again

(WRN) -Wisconsin Public Service and WE Energies officials say scammers once again targeted their customers last week.On Friday alone as many as 30 customers say they were hit by someone spoofing both a WPS number on their caller ID and WPS' on-hold music, all that sounds legitimate but Matt Cullen says the scammers tipped their hand when it came time for the payment of the supposed past-due bill- they asked for it in the form of a prepaid card and demanded the payment in as little as 30 minutes.
In a news release Cullen says the companies don't operate that way, and if customers have questions they can always hang up and call WPS or WE Energies directly to verify the status of a bill.
