In addition, UPPCO customers should not provide any private information, account or banking information.
Customers should contact UPPCO’s Customer Contact Center at 800-562-7680 Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST anytime they receive suspicious calls. UPPCO representatives can confirm if a call was made to a customer.
