North Georgia Electric Membership Corporation (NGEMC) has issued a warning to its members regarding a new email scam that is making the rounds in the community. Reports indicate that an email address used by NGEMC to send e-bills has been spoofed, with scammers attempting to deceive recipients into disclosing their Apple ID passwords.

The fraudulent message instructs recipients to “re-enter” their Apple ID password, a tactic designed to exploit unsuspecting individuals. NGEMC emphasizes that they will never request Apple ID or any personal passwords from their customers. As scams continue to evolve and proliferate in the region, NGEMC urges residents to remain vigilant. NGEMC says members should always be suspicious of callers or emails claiming to be from any utility company.

While the organization acknowledges that it cannot eliminate the threat of scammers altogether, they are committed to educating their members about the latest tactics being employed. NGEMC encourages anyone who receives suspicious communication claiming to be from them or any local utility to contact their nearest NGEMC office. Members in Chattooga County can reach the Trion office at 706-734-7341 for assistance and verification of any dubious claims.

NGEMC emphasizes the importance of community awareness in combating these fraudulent activities and protecting their members from potential threats. Stay safe and informed—protect your personal information and report any suspicious activity to NGEMC.
