How LREC SmartHub Can Help You Avoid Scammers Scammers are using ever-improving technologies to target our members by phone, email, and text. These criminals claim to be from LREC and often use a technique called spoofing to make the Caller ID on your phone display LREC’s number. They may even use email addresses that look legitimate at first glance. Members can get caught off guard by the aggressive tone of the scammers, who threaten to turn off power or internet if not paid immediately. Your best defense against scams – a good dose of skepticism and your LREC SmartHub account.
Check your balance 24/7/365
Scammers will try to convince you that your account is past due. They then threaten to turn off your service unless you pay immediately. To prevent falling for these threats, confirm your LREC account balance any time, day or night.
Make a secure payment
Sometimes, your account may have a balance. Don’t give the caller any personal or financial information. After confirming your balance, you can immediately make a payment toward your LREC account, and rest assured your money isn’t in the wrong hands.
