We have recently detected an ongoing scam across the region that is affecting utility customers.
Scammers are creating fraudulent utility websites, posing as official company sites, with fake customer service numbers. After landing on these fraudulent sites, customers who wish to pay their bill over the phone are calling the associated 800 numbers and disclosing their personal information, falling victim to the scam.
If you wish to pay your bill, please only contact us at our official residential customer service number: 1-800-245-2244 or access your account online here at our official website, alabamapower.com.
