Scammers don’t take a day off, and have come up with a new way to attempt to take your money. According to Jim Temmer, president/CEO of the BBB Serving Wisconsin, scammers are now posing as utility workers from We Energies and claim you are behind on bill payment or have a malfunctioning meter that you must replace, adding that the cost is rebated after installation. They often use a threatening tone, and demand payment. He also specified, “We’ve also discovered that Hispanic consumers are being targeted by Spanish-speaking scammers.” We Energies went on record to say that they will never solicit a payment in a threatening matter.
