Eastex Telephone is aware of a variety of scams where our customers have
been contacted with the caller demanding payment immediately, usually by
requesting a credit card or bank account information. Eastex does not
call our customers demanding payment on their account. Any contact
regarding payment is by Postal Mail. Eastex believes a customer should
never give personal information to anyone who calls the customer. Only
provide personal information when you originate the call. Exercise
extreme caution if you return a phone call to an automated message,
these can be scams as well, sometimes causing extra long distance charges
on your telephone bill. Always be aware and alert when you receive a
suspicious call. And remember you can always call your local Eastex
Telephone office for more information.
