Habersham EMC Issues Scam Alert

Scammers are apparently targeting some Habersham Electric Membership Corporation members.

Habersham EMC said it has been notified that some members have received telephone calls stating their power would be disconnected immediately unless they provided a credit card number or went to a location, other than an HEMC office, to make a payment.

According to Habersham EMC Manager of Member Services Susan Baker, that call is not from the company.

Baker said members should hang up at once and report the call to their local law enforcement.

She went on to say that if Habersham EMC members have questions regarding their accounts, customer service representatives can be reached at 706-754-2114, 706-865-4362 or 800-640-6812.
