(Gretna, Va.) — Gretna business owners are being warned of a scam. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office says a scammer has been contacting area businesses posing as an employee with Dominion Energy.

The scammer claims their utility bill is past due and attempts to pressure the victim into making a payment over the phone. The scammer then threatens the business owner with immediate power disconnection if payment is not made at that time.

The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office warns business owners and individuals not to give out your personal or banking information over the phone to anyone.
