Don’t click on a link in a text message you get on your phone that says you’ve won a terrific prize or a gift card from Tri-County Electric Cooperative or Tricolink. Don’t reply to these messages either, it’s a scam. We are not currently administering any rewards or points programs.

People who clicked the links in the messages didn’t get the promised prizes. Instead, they were taken to websites that asked them to give personal information and sign up for multiple offers, often involving purchases or paid subscriptions.

What can you do about unwanted text messages?

• Delete unwanted text messages that ask you to enter a special code, or to confirm or provide personal information. Legitimate companies won’t send you a text asking for sensitive information.

• Don’t click on links in the text message. Links can take you to spoof sites that look real but will steal your personal information.

• Report spam texts to your carrier. Copy the original message and forward it to 7726 (SPAM) free of charge, if you are an AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint subscriber.

TriCoLink has received reports of a phone scam. In a new scam recently communicated via customers, telephone scammers are contacting them claiming to represent their 'utility or internet provider'. The scammer tells them they owe money and that the customer needs to pay right away or their service will be cut off immediately. The scammer instructs the customer to pay the amount over the phone.

We thank our customers who have brought this to our attention and encourage all of our customers to stay alert. While TriCoLink may contact you by phone for various reasons, we will never call you to demand payment by a specific method.

If you have any doubt about a person's validity to represent TriCoLink, you should hang up the phone and call the cooperative immediately at 803-874-1215 and an official cooperative representative will be glad to assist you.
