BGMU scams out there

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. –  Bowling Green Municipal Utilities along with Bowling Green Police Department, are aware of scam calls going around that target BGMU customers.

Marketing Coordinator Shelley Lowe said that unfortunately, it happens every few months where scammers will call and demand immediate payment or risk loss of electricity and water. Lowe told News 40 that they want all their customers to know over the phone payment is not allowed for many utility companies out there.

“We don’t call and request payment over the phone, but we can direct you to an online portal…” Lowe said.

When asked about why she thinks there is some high frequency to the calls, Lowe said it’s just an easy grab.
