This just in from neighborhood services:

This morning, several customers contacted the North Little Rock Electric Department informing them that someone was placing calls to NLR Electric Customers identifying themselves as an Electric Department employee and asking for debit or credit card information.

The North Little Rock Electric Department will NEVER ask for debit or credit card information over the phone. If you receive a call from someone identifying themselves as an Electric Department employee threatening to turn your service off, attempt to obtain the callers number and immediately report the call to the NLR Electric Department and the NLR Police Department.

For more information, contact the North Little Rock Electric Department Customer Service at 501.975.8888. To monitor updates involving this scam, follow the NLR Electric Department on its Facebook page at http://facebook.com/home.php#!/NLRElectric or online at www.nlrelectric.com.
