FortisBC is warning customers to keep their doors closed after receiving reports of fraudsters trying to talk their way into homes.

After claiming to be repairmen affiliated with FortisBC the fraudsters tend to invent a premise to get into the house, such as examining the furnace.

FortisBC is reminding customers that they do not show up unannounced to inspect equipment nor to sell or repair products, including meters.

Customers are reminded to ask any door-to-door salesman or repairman for photo identification.
