In addition, various “tech-scams” continue to evolve and include:
- Tech Scam – Georgia Power Payment Through Unauthorized Apps: The company continues to hear of scammers requesting funds from customers via mobile and online means like Cash App, asking customers to pay an account that “looks like” Georgia Power, including illegal use of the company’s logo.
