NV Energy Warns Customers About Impersonation Scam
LAS VEGAS – NV Energy is alerting its customers to a growing scam where individuals are posing as NV Energy personnel and approaching homes door-to-door. The utility company emphasizes that the safety of both customers and employees is their top priority.
“Safety for our customers and employees is our number one priority,” stated NV Energy in a recent announcement.
NV Energy acknowledges that while its employees may occasionally visit residences or businesses without prior notice for reasons such as emergencies, leaving notices about upcoming work, conducting specialized meter inspections, or performing field inspections, there are crucial differences between legitimate visits and fraudulent encounters.
Key Things to Remember:
- NV Energy employees and contractors always carry official identification.
- They will NEVER demand immediate payment in person.
- They will NEVER threaten immediate service disconnection, whether in person, by phone, text, or email.
Furthermore, NV Energy clarified via social media that they do not collaborate with external companies for HVAC or solar consultations and installations. Customers should be wary of anyone claiming to represent NV Energy for such services.
If you are approached by someone claiming to be from NV Energy and you are unsure of their legitimacy, do not hesitate to ask for identification and verify their credentials. You can also contact NV Energy directly to confirm the purpose of their visit.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from becoming a victim of this scam. For more detailed information and safety tips, visit the official NV Energy website.
