#GEORGIA EMC CODE#

Un miembro de NGEMC ha reportado una nueva estafa activa. Members who prefer to use the Checkout option to pay their bill at local retailers may continue to do so securely by only using the barcode printed on the back of their NGEMC bill or by visiting the Checkout website directly to download the barcode to their phone. Remember, if you don’t make the call, don’t give your personal information away, even if your caller ID says the call is coming from NGEMC or another utility. However, NGEMC will never call you asking for payment or send you a barcode to use to pay a bill. It is important to note that the barcode looked similar and used the same retailers as the barcodes issued as a part of NGEMC’s Checkout program. The caller had used a program to make the caller ID display NGEMC’s name and phone number. An unsolicited caller demanded money and sent the member a barcode to take to a third-party store and scan to pay and phony charge. June 6, 2023Īn NGEMC member has reported a new active scam. If you believe anything is off or wrong about a call, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY and call your utility back at a published phone number. NGEMC will NEVER call you demanding payment.

Please remember that scammers rely on fear to get you to make hasty decisions. Scammers have demanded that members pay immediately to avoid disconnection.
