LOUISVILLE, Ky. — LG&E is warning customers about potential scams.
A woman had contacted WHAS11 News about someone calling her and demanding $400 to keep her service from being cut.
LG&E spokesperson Daniel Lowry said the company would never show up to your door or call customers for money.
He said scammers like these want you to feel pressured to act quickly, but same-day disconnections do not happen.
If someone shows up at your door, do not tell them your schedule or when you’re home or away from home.
To stay safe, LG&E recommends checking your account before you pay anything or give additional information.
