Upshur Rural Electric Coop Reports Scam Attempts

From Upshur Rural Electric Coop

We have received several calls from someone representing themselves as Upshur Rural and asking customers to pay their bill within 45 min to one-hour to avoid disconnection. They give this number 1-800-816-6130 and a reference number to make a payment. If you call them back, they answer as URECC. Please be aware that Upshur Rural Electric Coop doesn’t solicit payment on the phone.
