CLARKESVILLE - A new scam is operating in the north Georgia area, according to Habersham Electric Membership Corporation (HEMC).<br />
<br />
HEMC officials say they have been notified that some their members have received telephone calls telling them that their power would be disconnected immediately unless they provide the caller with a credit card number for payment.<br />
<br />
Susan Baker, Member Care Program Manager with the electric co-op, warns this is a scam, adding, "members should hang up at once and call Habersham EMC. Customer resource managers can be reached at 706-865-4362 or 800-640-6812."
