It’s Holiday SCAM Season!

YVEA members have been receiving phone calls from someone claiming they work for YVEA and need to collect payment for their electric bill - or power will be disrupted. This is a scam! You can be assured that you will never get a phone call from YVEA asking to make a payment over the phone to avoid disruption of service. You will however receive a courtesy call if you have a past due balance. If you call in to make a payment, we must send you into our automated secure system and you must verify your account information in order to make a payment.

It is always good practice if you receive a phone call of this nature from any company calling to ask for payment, especially credit card information, that you ask for a phone number and tell them you will call them right back with your payment. Please call us if you have any questions.
