Erie Thames Powerlines warning of telephone scam

INGERSOLL - Erie Thames Powerlines is warning customers about a telephone scam in the area. 

The company says several customers claim to have received calls that Erie Thames or Hydro One will disconnect their power if payment is not made immediately and then the called requests a credit card number over the telephone. 
 
The utility says they do not ask for your credit card over the phone and that in disconnection cases, they send multiple notices regarding overdue accounts prior to disconnection. 
 
If you receive a call and have any doubts, they say to hang up immediately and call Erie Thames back to ensure you are in fact speaking with Erie Thames Powerlines representatives.
