LETHBRIDGE – Residents are being warned of a new phone scam happening across the city.
Someone will call claiming to be a utility representative for the City of Lethbridge. They’ll advise the victim that their account is overdue and face being disconnected if they don’t make a payment.
The caller will then explain that the only way to make a payment is to purchase a prepaid debit or credit card at a local retailer.
The City is reminding customers that the utility department will not contact them in this manner, and does not accept payment on prepaid cards.
