VINELAND MUNICIPAL UTILITIES WARNS CUSTOMERS ABOUT PHONE SCAM Vineland Municipal Utilities officials are warning businesses and residents about a phone scam operation involving fraudulent claims of past due utility payments. Customers are receiving calls from people who refer to themselves as VMU Customer Service Representatives. The callers are advising customers they are behind on their utility bill and a payment must be made immediately to avoid disconnection of service. The scammers are using a cloned telephone number (794-4280) making the call seem like it originated from Vineland Municipal Utilities. The call back number provided by the scammers includes a recording exactly the same as the VMU phone system recording. Customers are then asked to provide personal information such as a social security number and banking information. VMU officials urge customers not to provide any banking information over the phone. VMU representatives do not call customers regarding past due bills. The utility sends notices out to those customers who are behind on their bill. “These callers can sound very convincing and are often quite persistent and even threatening,” said Municipal Utilities Director John Lillie. “We don’t want any of our customers being scared into releasing personal or banking information over the phone. Always remember, payments are only accepted by mail, in person at Vineland City Hall, or via our website portal with a credit or debit card.” In order to identify a fraudulent call, VMU recommends the following tips to customers: -Ask for the caller’s name, department, and business phone number. If caller refuses to provide information requested, terminate the call. -Ask caller to verify your utility account information. -If customer suspects a fraudulent call, report it to the local authorities. -If you are victim of such a scam, please call the local authorities to report it.

FREE TREE SEEDLINGS The Vineland Environmental Commission will be distributing free tree seedlings to Vineland residents on Monday, April 9th, 2018 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on the ground floor lobby of Vineland City Hall located at 640 E. Wood St. Seedlings are available on a first come, first served basis, and also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out. The trees were made available as part of the NJ Tree Recovery Campaign. It is a joint effort between the city, ​the New Jersey Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, the Arbor Day Foundation, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Canon, and FedEx.
