🚨 SCAM ALERT: Phone and Internet Bill Payment Scam 🚨
The Sheriff’s Office has been alerted to a phone scam currently targeting Spectrum customers. Please remember that these scams can involve any company you pay bills to.
✅ How the scam works:
You receive a call claiming to be from your service provider.
They say your bill will increase or your service will be canceled unless you act immediately.
They instruct you to pay using gift cards from a retail store such as Target or Walmart.
They may keep you on the phone and use professional-sounding hold music to seem legitimate.
✅ Important facts:
Legitimate companies will never ask for payment via gift cards.
They do not partner with third-party retailers for bill payments.
⚠️ What to do if you get this call:
Do not purchase gift cards or share card numbers.
Hang up immediately.
Report the scam to your provider and local law enforcement.
These scammers can sound very convincing, so please share this warning to protect others in our community. ... See MoreSee Less
