Atmos Energy is warning the public about a ‘Search Engine Phishing’ scam where cybercriminals use search engine techniques to place a fake website into a browser’s top search results.
If you click on this ‘spoof’ website will be taken to a fake page with a fake customer service phone number. If you call this number, scammers ask for sensitive information like you log-in credentials that could endanger you bank, credit card and other accounts.
Telephone scams are also on the rise, including where imposters call customers directly and offer a discount on their Atmos Energy bill if they pay immediately over the phone. Atmos will never ask for payment using prepaid debit cards, gift cards or mobile application. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of a call, simply hang up and call Atmos Energy customer service at 888-286-6700.
