Northern Lights warns of scam

May 16, 2017

Northern Lights Electric Co-op is warning members to beware of scams within their service territory. NLI has received a report that a member has been contacted by an individual who represented them self as an employee of the Co-op, and who was requesting personal information. Individuals impersonating the co-op try to gain access to the member’s bank account or ask for payment through a third-party vendor. Scammers typically stress the need for consumers to act quickly. NLI strongly urges members to protect their credit card and checking account numbers, account user names, passwords and Social Security numbers. If you receive such a call, do not give out any personal or financial information, and report the suspicious activity to the Cooperative by calling 1-800-326-9594.
