Terrace residents are being warned to be aware of a phone scam circulating in which the caller falsely claims to be from BC Hydro.
RCMP say they have received multiple reports of the scam over the past few days.
According to those reports, the caller tells the victim that their BC Hydro account is past due, and instructs them to make a payment at a certain location.
BC Hydro is reminding customers that they will never ask for payments, or collect financial information over the phone, and that they do not accept payment from pre-paid cards, credit cards, or crypto currencies.
They also say there has been an uptick in scams reported during the pandemic.
If you are unsure whether a call, email or text is authentic, you can contact BC Hydro at 1 800 224 9376.
