The Association of Electric Companies of Texas has warned people of unsolicited calls and emails that threaten to cut off electricity to those who do not share personal information.
This edict has responded to a scam affecting people statewide.
The personal information includes bank accounts and Social Security numbers.
AECT says the scammers do not have the ability to cut service, but people may experience more service interruptions during the summer because the heat increases the prospect of losing it.
CEO John Fainter says law enforcement, electric companies, and consumer organizations continue investigating the scams.
Never provide Social Security, credit card, or bank account numbers to anyone requesting them through unsolicited phone calls and emails.
