Don't give your money to scammers! Seems those bad guys are at it again threatening to shut off your power if you don't pay them right away with a prepaid card or money order. Don't fall for it. When in doubt call us to verify your account status, or check your SmartHub account.

I urge
@realDonaldTrump
to immediately issue the notice of intent to terminate the power provisions of the Columbia River Treaty.
The U.S. sends $1 million every 2-3 days to Canada under this outdated and unfair treaty.
Mr. President, the time is now to end this bad deal.
