CLYDE, OH (Toledo News Now) -
Police are looking to clear up confusion in
Clyde by figuring out the source of some phone calls that they believe are a
scam.
In Clyde, residents have only two options for
their electric utility – Toledo Edison Clyde Light and Power. But multiple
residents have called officials saying they were called by someone claiming to
work for AEP. The caller told residents they could save them money on their
bills.
The caller then asked for personal
information.
No one has been scammed yet, but police are
wary, and would like to know if the calls are being made with malicious intent,
or if it is an actual AEP salesperson who is unaware of the energy situation in
Clyde.
Police are asking residents who receive such
a call to ask for a call-back number and give that number to the police.
If residents ever have questions regarding
their utilities options, they can contact the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
