How can I tell if it’s DEMCO calling me or someone pretending to be DEMCO?

DEMCO uses an automated phone system to give you a courtesy call before service is disconnected due to non-payment. If you subscribe to text notifications or email, you may receive a reminder from DEMCO using that method. If you suspect you are being scammed, just hang up and block future calls and emails from that person. If you want to report the potential scam, you can call the FCC, local authorities and you may call 1-844-MyDEMCO (1-844-693-3626).

If I can’t pay my bill because I am not getting a paycheck, will DEMCO cut off my service?
