Scams impersonating Alliant Energy reported in Jackson County

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of scams impersonating Alliant Energy.

The scams often accuse the receiver of missing payments and threaten immediate power shutoff unless payment is made, often demanding prepaid cards. These are signs that it is a scam, as Alliant Energy will never demand immediate payment over email or phone, threaten immediate shutoff, or ask for personal information.
