Hartselle Utilities warns of payment scam
A phone scam affecting Hartselle Utilities customers was recently reported.

Some reports even mention that a false phone number was given that was answered as Hartselle Utilities.
In response to the scam, Hartselle Utilities assured their customers that they will never call customers after business hours, ask for payment over the phone, request confidential bank account information or ask customers to wire money to them as immediate payment. If a customer should receive a suspicious call asking for any of these things, Hartselle Utilities instructed that he or she should hang up the phone.
