Alert
On January 3, 2014, Maui Electric Company (MECO)advised Hawaii's BBB that their clients are receiving calls originating from someone purporting to be from Maui Electric Corporation regarding client's account being "red flagged". The originating phone number on caller ID showed 800-571-3163. The calls were not placed by MECO representatives. The phone number matches the number listed in BBB Business Review for a company called Opinion Survey in New York, which is available here.
On November 19, 2013, Maui Electric Company contacted Hawaii's Better Business Bureau to warn that Maui Electric customers are receiving collection scam telephone calls from Michael Stevens of the Maui Disconnection Department at 413-391-2880.
Customers are being asked to pay outstanding electric bills or face immediate termination of their electric service. Maui Electric has no affiliation with Michael Stevens and the Maui Disconnection Department and the calls are in no way related to Maui Electric's services.
