DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Detroit Lakes Public Utilities (DLPU) is warning customers of a scam that’s hit the Lakes Area.
DLPU says they’ve received a number of calls from customers indicating they’ve received a call from someone portraying to be a Utility Billing employee and telling customers that if they do not make a payment their electric service will be disconnected within half an hour.
DLPU says this is a scam and that if you receive such a call you should hang up immediately and then call DLPU directly. Customers should never provide callers personal information over the phone.
