Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers says the Clarinda P-D has received several calls  from local businesses stating that an individual identifying himself as a customer service agent with MidAmerican Energy, is telling the business that their utility bill is delinquent and that immediate arrangements must be made or the utility service will be shut off. The call does show up on caller id as being placed from MidAmerican Energy.

THIS IS A SCAM. Brothers reminds business owners “MidAmerican Energy does not deal with delinquent utility accounts in this manner. If you receive a similar call, immediately hang up and do not provide any personal or financial account information.”
