🚨 URGENT: URECC MEMBERS – SCAM ALERT 🚨
***SCAM ALERT – URECC MEMBERS***
We have been notified by members about a scam involving individuals posing as URECC representatives. The scammers claim a payment of $1,500 is required—often involving a Walmart gift card—and may send a barcode via text message, instructing the recipient to scan it to complete the transaction. The fraudulent calls are coming from 1-888-693-8863 EXT 1001, and victims are threatened with meter removal if they do not comply.
Please remember: URECC will NEVER demand immediate payment or threaten disconnection without proper notice.�Stay alert, and help protect others by sharing this warning—especially with senior citizens who may be more vulnerable to such scams.
If you are unsure about a communication or need to verify someone claiming to be from URECC, please contact us directly at 903-843-2536 or 800-259-2536.
