Manitoba Hydro is warning of an email and text scam going around threatening to cut off customers’ power.
Bruce Owen from Manitoba Hydro says the email scam going around threatens to cut off the customer’s power if they don’t click a link and make a new account or pay a balance of under $10.
He says the emails have big tells to show they are scams, such as spelling mistakes.
Owen says customers who receive odd emails or texts should just delete them and pay no attention to them, adding Hydro would not send an email like that.
He says if there’s a billing issue, there will be person-to-person contact to get it resolved.
