Webinar Description
2 - 3:30 p.m. Eastern
Impostors seem to target utility customers with new phone, in-person, and online scams every day. It takes a concerted effort to alert customers and save them from fraud. Learn what public power utilities are doing to educate customers and get new ideas for combating scams. Connect with your peers and get customizable resources to quickly alert your customers of potential scams. Explore how you can participate in Scam Awareness Week and join the national movement to educate customers about scams.
