Together with Utilities United Against Scams (UUAS), EEI and our member companies observed the ninth annual Utility Scam Awareness Day, an advocacy and awareness campaign focused on educating customers and exposing the tactics used by scammers, on November 20. We also supported International Fraud Awareness Week (November 17-23).

UUAS, a consortium of more than 150 U.S. and Canadian electric, water, and natural gas companies and their respective trade associations, continues to raise customer awareness of common scams and new scam tactics being used by utility impostors. Through its work and with the help of customer reporting, UUAS has successfully helped to take nearly 13,000 toll-free numbers used by scammers against utility customers out of operation.
