EPB issues warning of scam email notices
EPB customers are reporting that they received a questionable email with the subject “Epbfi.com Server Congestion”. The message claims Epbfi.com server is holding incoming messages, and if you wish to continue using your email you should “verify” your account and click a link.
EPB spokesman John Pless urged those who get the message not to click on the link.
“This is NOT a legitimate email from EPB, but a phishing attempt to possibly access your personal data or cause other harm,” Pless said.
EPB will not ask you via email to verify your account. Pless urged consumers to call EPB anytime at (423) 648-1372 if you have questions about suspicious or questionable communications which appear to come from EPB.
