Scams targeting Alabama Power customers rise during the holidays
Alabama Power customers are being targeted by scammers during the holiday season. The fraudsters are posing as employees of energy providers and attempting to steal money from unsuspecting customers. This is a growing concern in southeast Alabama, where the number of scams has risen in recent weeks.
According to a recent report by WTVY, scammers are using a variety of tactics to trick customers into providing fraudulent payments.
