DP&L reminds you not to provide personal information or comply with requests for payments unless you are confident with whom they are speaking.
Be alert to these three common scams:
- Callers threatening disconnection if payment is not made immediately
- Callers asking customers to send a pre-paid debit card to pay their bill or to replace dangerous equipment
- Callers targeting small businesses during peak hours
Scammers may attempt to target you through email, social media and face-to-face as well.
If you suspect you’re speaking with a scammer, hang up and call DP&L at 800-433-8500 or check your account status at mydpandl.com.
