Utility scams are reported nationwide, including here in Wisconsin. MGE customers have reported fraudulent activity that is constantly evolving in the form of phone calls, text messages or in-person contact from impostors claiming to work for MGE. They attempt to collect money for supposed past-due accounts and/or updates or repairs to utility meters. This is not MGE.
Phone scammers often threaten immediate disconnection and can manipulate caller ID displays to show a local company’s name or phone number when they call.
If you ever feel uncomfortable with the contact you receive from somebody claiming to be from MGE, call us immediately at 608-252-7222 before you take any action. Visit mge.com/scams to learn more.
Behind on your MGE bill?
If you are behind on your MGE bill, give us a call. We can work with you to set up a personalized payment arrangement and discuss financial assistance that may be available for your household. A payment, even if minimal, and an established payment arrangement may prevent collection activity, late payment fees or potential disconnection of service.
