Lexington Police are warning residents of a phone scam involving Kentucky Utilities.
Police say the caller claims to be with KU and says the customer’s bills are overdue, and if they don’t pay, their electricity will be cut off.

The scammer then claims the customer must purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak card. Once purchased by the victim, the suspect requests the card number and the funds are immediately transferred to an overseas account.
If you have received a similar call, give Lexington Police a call.
