The Muhlenberg County Sheriff’s Office is issuing an alert about scam calls from fraudsters pretending to be from Kentucky Utilities. Residents have reported receiving calls demanding immediate payment for utility bills, threatening service disconnection. The callers direct victims to a number that mimics KU’s official line and claim to operate from a nonexistent office in Eddyville. Kentucky Utilities has confirmed that they do not request personal payment details over the phone. Authorities advise verifying any such claims through official channels and reporting suspicious activities to both the utility company and local law enforcement to prevent potential fraud.
