Scam Alert from Yampa Valley Electric Association. Someone is calling members and saying they can lower your electric bill. Then they need your name and account information, and possibly your credit card information to send a refund. It’s a scam. Don’t fall for it, and don’t give your credit card number out over the phone to anyone who randomly calls you.
