Georgia Power customers are asked to beware of scam calls because there have been recent incidents where both residential and local business customers have been approached by scammers pretending to be Georgia Power employees. The scammers call customers and advise them that they have a short deadline to make a payment. The scammer then asks the customers to go to a local retailer (such as Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens) and purchase a money pack for the given amount, and then call another number to share the account number on that prepaid card.
