PRESS RELEASE: BEWARE OF SCAMS
June 8, 2018
McMinnville Water & Light has received many phone calls today from concerned customers (mostly businesses) about a new scam, relating to electric and water utilities. The scammers contact customers by phone and demand payment, threatening to disconnect power and/or water if the customer doesn’t pay within 45 MINUTES.
Some have identified themselves as McMinnville Water and Light employees and are very aggressive in their attempt to collect payment by instructing the customer to purchase a prepaid credit card or call another 1-800 number to make a payment.
If your bill is current, we WILL NOT contact you for payment. If your account is past due, you will receive written notice of a past due account with instructions on how to avoid disconnection of service.
If you receive a suspicious call, please hang up immediately and call our office at 503-472-6158.
McMinnville Water and Light will never ask you to pay with a wire transfer or gift cards, such as: iTunes, Walmart, Target, MoneyPak, Vanilla Reload, or Reloadit card.
