A warning from NB Power not to be taken in by scammers who are pretending to be from the utility.
One such con is to be approached by someone driving an unmarked car who will demand payment immediately or your power will be disconnected but we're told that's not how NB Power operates.
Melissa Morton tells CHSJ News other people have been approached by someone claiming to be an NB Power water heater contractor but such contacts are initiated by customers when they run into problems and the cost of servicing your water heater is included in the rental fee on your monthly bill.
She adds NB Power is also not selling any device that supposedly will save you money on your electricity bill.
