'Green Dot'
Scam

About the scam

Scammers call claiming that you are behind on your account.

To avoid service disconnection, customers are asked to purchase a pre-paid debit card, such as a Green Dot MoneyPak card.

What to know

  • Utilities will never ask you to make a payment using a Green Dot MoneyPak or other pre-paid card.
  • Be suspicious of callers who demand immediate payment for any reason.
  • Avoid websites requesting payment by Green Dot MoneyPak or other pre-paid cards.
