PUD impersonators promoting financial phone scam

Posted

BRIDGEPORT— Douglas County Public Utility District (PUD) customers have filed multiple reports with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office concerning bogus phone calls from persons claiming to represent the PUD and requesting payment for overdue account balances.
The Sheriff’s Office has confirmed with the PUD that the calls are not legitimate and that it is not standard PUD practice to request sensitive financial information from customers over the phone. 
PUD customers who receive a similar call or any call considered suspicious in nature are cautioned not to disclose personal financial information.  Suspicious calls should be reported to law enforcement at (509)663-9911.
