LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — State officials are warning people of a new scam involving NV Energy.
The Nevada Department of Emergency Management shared that people are going door-to-door impersonating workers for the utility company.
Residents are reminded that employees might visit a home or business for unscheduled service, such as emergencies, placing door hangers for upcoming work, special meter tests, and field inspections.
NV Energy employees and contractors carry identification with them. If you are unsure, you can ask them for ID.
The utility will not demand immediate payment or threaten disconnection in-person or by phone, text or email. It also does not partner with outside companies for HVAC work or solar installations.
