Wisconsin Public Service's call center has been reporting numerous scam calls.
The scammers appear to be targeting certain businesses. Tuesday the service territory in the west has numerous reports from the restaurant industry. Green Bay area day cares are being targeted as well.
It’s the same message. Pay within 45 minutes or your power will be cut off. WPS would never tell a customer that they will disconnect power within 45 minutes or ask to have them go to a Walgreens, CVS or Big Box store to obtain a prepaid card.
WPS encourages anyone who has had one of these phone calls to call and ask questions about the account in question before they provide any personal information over the phone.
