(IID warning)….Be aware of possible scams.

The Imperial Irrigation District has a campaign underway, in an attempt to help customers avoid being scammed. The District says scams are on the increase and scammers are becoming increasingly brazen in their attempts to obtain ill-gotten gains. The campaign includes media spots and flyers, warning customers to be aware. They say customers should just hang up if they receive a call from someone demanding immediate payment. The customer should call the IID, toll-free, at 1-800-303-7756. Check their account status and report a fraudulent call. Customers should remain in control, never call the number back, never give personal or financial information over the phone when someone calls you. If there is a problem with your bill, the IID will notify you by mail.
