SaskPower warns of potential scam after vehicle break-in

A number of things were stolen from a SaskPower vehicle in Saskatoon on Monday that the Crown corporation says could allow someone to impersonate one of its employees.

SaskPower said Wednesday a hard hat, an orange vest, a clipboard, a jacket, personal protective equipment and business cards were among the items taken from the vehicle during the break-in.

As a result, the company wants to make sure no one is taken in by a scam.

“SaskPower will never go door-to-door demanding payment, asking for personal information, or entrance to a customer’s home,” the company said in a media release. “The person could be quite convincing if he/she wears all of the gear, has business cards and so on. We want to stop this as quickly as possible.”
