McKenzie Electric Cooperative has received several reports from individuals who have received fraudulent payments using the cooperative's name. These checks, which falsely display McKenzie Electric Cooperative's name and logo, are not legitimate and did not originate from the cooperative.
McKenzie Electric does not purchase items through Facebook Marketplace or any similar platforms and will not send checks or payments to individuals we are not directly working with.
These checks are fraudulent and not associated with our office or operations. If you receive any unexpected communication or payment claiming to be from us, please contact our office directly to verify its legitimacy before taking any action.
McKenzie Electric advises the following:
- Do not deposit any checks or accept payments claiming to be from McKenzie Electric Cooperative unless you are working directly with our office.
- Report any scam attempts to your local law enforcement agency and the Federal Trade Commission at www.reportfraud.ftc.gov.
McKenzie Electric is committed to protecting its members and the integrity of its operations. We thank you for helping us raise awareness and report suspicious activity.
