ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (WCYB) — The Elizabethton Electric System is warning customers about a scam.

Officials said that callers from a private number are calling EES customers and demanding payment for past due billing and threatening to disconnect service if the payment is not made immediately.

According to Safety and Facilities Coordinator Brandon Campbell, the electric system will never call and made a demand for payments.

“We want our customers to know this is not something that the system engages in,” said Campbell. “We just recently began a service where customers may receive a recorded call from 423-666-0053 advising of a past due bill, but we always ask that the customers reach back out to us in regard to the billing issue.”
