According to a press release from Rocky Mountain Power, customer service centers have received about two dozen scam alert reports from along the Wasatch Front since late Thursday morning.

Most reports have come from Salt Lake City and West Valley businesses, but there have even been reports from Cache Valley.

The callback number provided by the scammers is 801-683-6054, with a caller identification number of 888-221-7070, which is also Rocky Mountain Power’s customer service number, the press release said.
