Scam Alert
December 2018: Virginia Tech Electric Service (VTES) has recently received reports of customers becoming the victims of fraud after receiving telephone calls from the phone number 1-866-289-2618 and visits from door-to-door representatives claiming to be VTES employees. The scam includes telling customers that their meter is broken and that the customer needs to make a payment within an hour and a half to keep their electricity on.
Virginia Tech Electric Service will never call and ask for a payment over the phone or visit a business or home in person to collect payment to keep your electric service account from being disconnected. If you have any questions about phone calls that you receive from someone saying they represent Virginia Tech Electric Service, call 540-231-6437.
