WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — Middle Tennessee Electric is warning members about a scam reported in the Mt. Juliet and Lebanon areas.
According to the utility, some members have been approached at their homes or businesses by someone pretending to be an MTE employee. The person is threatening to disconnect service and demanding payment, MTE said.
The scam suspect is driving a white truck with an MTE logo, according to the utility.
MTE said its employees do not go to members’ homes or businesses to collect payment.
The utility urged anyone approached in that way to contact their local police department immediately.
MTE also encouraged members to review scam prevention information on its website and to call 877-777-9020 with any questions or concerns.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
