Cons, Frauds and Scams
People Claiming to be from SRP or APS
A representative of Salt River Project (SRP) has received
several calls from seniors in the Sun City area who said that
someone pretending to be from SRP was going door-to-door and
telling people he had a special deal for SRP customers. The
seniors are paying for deals that do not exist.
APS has also
received some calls on this scam as well. Please be careful when
someone solicits door-to-door, and do your research before
giving out personal information or money to strangers.
SRP has
issued an alert to customers that thieves are impersonating SRP
employees to steal credit card and debit card numbers. The
imposters tell victims that immediate payment is required for
electric bills. This is a scam.
Do not give credit card or
debit card information over the telephone unless you are
absolutely sure you know whom you are talking to.
