Mississippi PSC warns utility customers of imposter scam
SUMMARY: Officials from the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) are warning the public about a scam where individuals impersonate PSC employees to extract bank account information from utility customers.

The PSC emphasizes that they never request bank information and advises anyone receiving suspicious calls to hang up and contact their utility company directly. Victims are encouraged to report the fraud to their bank and the Mississippi Attorney General‘s Office.
