Scam targets Kentucky and Indiana homeowners

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A scam hitting Kentucky and Indiana claims to be part of a new federal program.

It targets homeowners, by offering to pay their utility bills in exchange for personal information.

Officials in both states say residents are told credits would be provided on their bills, if they release social security numbers or bank account information.

Officials say legitimate businesses will not make unsolicited calls, texts or email messages asking for that kind of information.
