⚠ Members, please be advised we received reports of a scam phone call regarding past due balance and threatening an immediate power shut-off if the member doesn't make a minimum payment. The scammer pretends to be a DMEA staff member and uses urgency to scam members into paying. Do NOT provide any personal information.
