Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has issued a warning about scam phone calls from people claiming to be employees of Dominion Virginia Power, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative or Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, threatening to shut off electric service unless a delinquent bill is paid within a matter of hours. The scammers then instruct customers to buy a prepaid debit card, load money onto the card and pay over the phone.
