Don't Be Spoofed
Calling and asking for personal and financial information is a common tactic used by scammers. It’s important to always be cautious and not share any sensitive information with unknown callers. If you receive such calls, consider taking the following steps:
Don’t Share Personal Information: Avoid providing personal or financial information over the phone. MWEC will never call requesting credit/debit card or banking information.
Question your Caller ID: Be cautious if the caller’s number is hidden or if the caller ID seems suspicious. Scammers often use techniques like caller ID spoofing to appear as if they’re calling from a trusted source.
Report Scams: If you receive a call from a claimed MWEC sourced that you believe to be a scam, report it to your local authorities and your local MWEC office.
