(Harlan, Iowa) – Official with Harlan Municipal Utilities (HMU) are warning their customers that some customers have informed the utility that that they have received emails with links to update their financial information. HMU says “We wanted to remind you that neither HMU nor our online payment providers will email you links and ask you to update your financial information through that link.

“If you need to update your information it is best to use your normal process of logging in to the site and entering it. These ‘scammers’ do a good job of creating the link and taking you to a page that looks similar to the one you are used to.”
