Utility scammers have a new approach to rip-off people.
Wisconsin Public Service says there’s been an uptick in a scam in recent days where utility customers in the Green Bay, Marinette and Sheboygan areas are receiving calls saying utility crews need to exchange or remove gas or electric meters. Sometimes the customer is told a reimbursable payment is needed and sometimes scammers threaten to cut off service if no payment is made.
