How to Guard Against Utility Imposters

You can prevent utility imposters from targeting you by taking precautions to protect yourself.

Individuals claiming to represent the “water company” or another utility will approach the resident and use a variety of excuses to enter the home. Once inside, the imposters typically divert the resident’s attention by sending him/her to the basement or kitchen to run a faucet while they or an accomplice robs another area of the home.

First, it is extremely rare for utility company personnel to show up at a customer’s home without an appointment. However, if a utility worker comes to your door and you are not expecting them, DO NOT let them inside without proper identification. All service personnel wear uniforms, drive company-branded vehicles and wear photo ID badges with the company’s logo. (IMPORTANT: Company employees will never ask for nor accept payment at a customer’s home or business).

Don’t be afraid to ask for photo ID, and take the time to examine the ID badge whenever someone from a utility company arrives at your home. If you are still unsure and have any suspicions about the individual’s identity, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Also, you can contact that utility customer service center to check if the service visit is legitimate.
