York Electric Cooperative is alerting members to an apparent scam involving individuals calling members, posing as a representative of the co-op. The scam caller states that immediate payment is needed to avoid disconnection of electric service.
Members should call YEC at (803) 684‑4248 if they have questions about their account or to report if they receive a suspicious call. Member services representatives can help confirm payment and balance due on a member’s account.
Credit card numbers and personal information should never be given to suspicious callers. If you receive a suspicious call, mailing, email or other type of unusual contact, you should contact local law enforcement.
