 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Una vez más los estafadores por teléfono se encuentran llamando a los clientes de la Compañía Eléctrica de Nashville (Nashville Electric Service o NES por sus siglas en inglés) para demandar un pago inmediato para evitar que se les desconecte su servicio eléctrico.
 
La persona que llama dice ser un empleado de NES y exige al cliente hacer un pago para que no se le desconecte su servicio de electricidad. Al cliente se le instruye para que compre una tarjeta de crédito prepagada o un giro postal y se le pide llamar a un número telefónico específico que reproduce o toca una grabación falsa de NES. También se le pide al cliente proveer el número de una tarjeta de crédito por teléfono para procesar su pago.
 
La Unidad de Fraudes del Departamento de la Policía Metropolitana se encuentra trabajando en el caso y NES le pide a sus clientes que tengan precaución cuando provean información sobre pagos por teléfono.
 
El personal de NES siempre porta identificación apropiada y nunca llama o va de puerta en puerta pidiendo información personal tal como sería una cuenta bancaria o números de tarjetas de crédito. Si usted tiene dudas sobre la legitimidad de una solicitud o pedido, comuníquese con el Departamento de Servicio al Cliente de NES al (615) 736-6900.
