(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday is now encouraging utility customers to be alert for a scam that is circulating in the state. According to Sunday, his office is receiving an increase in calls about impersonation scams involving utility providers. Sunday highlighted false websites that mirror the websites that legitimately belong to providers of utilities, which are showing up in searches from Google. The websites also try to get victims into either making a payment that is rushed or to give up their personal information. If you think you are getting scammed online, do not click on any suspicious links.
