A telephone scam we warned you about a few months ago is still hanging around.
People are still receiving fake phone calls pretending to be NB Power and claiming they have ways of reducing your electricity bill. The scam claims you’re paying too much and that your home doesn’t meet current electricity codes.
NB Power says they do contact customers about account balances, but would never request financial information over the phone.
If you’ve been contacted, you’re encouraged to report the incident to police, RCMP or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or go online.
