The Kansas Corporation Commission is warning utility customers about a phone scam that has been reported.
The KCC said someone claiming to be working with the KCC is calling utility customers and offering a 30% discount on their electric bills. Based on what has been reported, the caller asks about Medicare or Medicaid eligibility, then asks for a credit card so the refund can be applied.
This individual is not affiliated with the KCC and the agency is urging consumers to use caution if they receive a call. A consumer getting a call like this should not provide credit card information.
