IFPD warns about power scam
The Idaho Falls Police Department said someone has called two local businesses threatening to disconnect their electricity unless they make payment.
Police remind the public to use caution when anyone solicits money or confidential information through mail, on telephone or the Internet.
In this case, both businesses recognized the call as a scam and kept themselves from becoming victims.
