Warning of Email Scam...
Like Clarksville Gas and Water (CGW), Jenkins
& Wynne is warning our customers of a recent e-mail scam.
The message is sent from “an unusual email address from the UK” with “(your name), Ford Jenkins & Wynne has just sent you a gift!” in the subject line and says the customer has won a free gift card.
This e-mail is NOT from Jenkins & Wynne and is completely untrue. Jenkins & Wynne will never ask a customer to click on a link to accept or redeem rewards or ask for personal information in an unsolicited e-mail.
If you receive this email, please delete immediately. Following any links can put you at risk for viruses or worse. Again, this is not a valid email; Jenkins & Wynne does not have anything to do with this scam.
