San Diegans are being encouraged to be aware of impostors claiming to be SDG&E employees to burglarize a home.
SDG&E officials said two people recently posed as utility workers and asked to enter a customer’s home. One impostor then claimed to perform “routine inspections” while the other impostor burglarized the home.
In a news release, SDG&E officials said all utility workers carry proper identification and residents should verify the employee is wearing a uniform and ID badge before letting them into your home.
Officials also recommend customers ask to see an employee’s company ID card, ensure they’re driving a SDG&E-marked company vehicle and never leave your house if asked by a supposed utility worker.
If you receive a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to work for SDG&E, officials also recommend you don’t provide credit card information over the phone or any other financial information.
If you are suspicious of anyone at your house or any phone call you’ve received, call SDG&E directly at 800-411-7343.
