When unsure about an incoming phone call or email, stop the communication and verify with the utility company's customer service number to confirm legitimacy.\nBe skeptical. When receiving a phone call, text message, email, or visit from someone, be sure to ask questions and verify their identity before giving out any personal or financial information.\nRemain calm. Scammers thrive on panic. If you are worried, hang up the phone or close and lock your door, and call your utility company to verify.\nNever give cash. Our employees and contractors never collect money or credit card information from customers in the field.\n\nBy implementing these tips, you can stay one step ahead and safeguard your personal information from being compromised.\nFor more information, visit the Better Business Bureau here.\nAbout American Water\nAmerican Water (NYSE: AWK) is the largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the United States.
