Be on the lookout for utility scammers

With utility scams on the rise, Nodak Electric wants to ensure its members are aware of how to spot these scammers and keep your information safe.

Identification:

Scammers may try to pose as a Nodak Electric representative. If you are unsure about the call, verify that the information being provided matches your latest bill.

Time constraints:

Scammer messages often require members to act fast. Your co-op will never text or call you to say services will be turned off if you don’t pay your bill immediately.

Overpayment scam:

Members may receive messages about a previous overpaid bill, saying Nodak Electric needs your bank account to issue a refund. Nodak Electric will never ask its members for bank information over the phone or via text message.

If you think you are speaking to a scammer, hang up and call Nodak’s office at (701) 746-4461 to verify.
