City officials have a few tips so you can avoid these types of situations.
- Be wary of any phone calls pressuring you for money especially if they're asking for immediate payments.
- Don't fall for anything that seems too good to be true like free vacations and sweepstakes prizes.
- Be cautious when it comes to people claiming to represent a company, organization, or government agency that's offering to recover lost money for a fee.
The city said if customers are concerned about potential scams, they can contact the Department of Utility Services Customer Care Center at 702-267-5900.
