Virginia Tech Electric Service

Scam Alert!

VTES has received several phone calls reporting fake calls that display our name or phone number as the Caller ID. 
VTES does not normally call our cusotmers. We would never demand money over the phone as we do not accept payments over the phone.
Please call our main office number at 540-231-6437 if you have any concerns about your account. We can tell you if we’ve contacted you. Don’t give the caller a prepaid card, such as a Green Dot card, a wire transfer, or any other form of payment. Ignore suspicious requests for personal information such as bank account numbers, user names and passwords, credit card numbers, or Social Security numbers.
