NIPSCO is warning customers to watch out for fake NIPSCO employees asking to enter homes for inspection due to a “recent power outage.”
Some customers have reported that individuals dressed as utility employees try to gain access to homes in this manner.
NIPSCO states that utility workers should never need entry into your house during or after a power outage. Check IDs, make sure workers are in clearly identified NIPSCO vehicles, and report any suspicious activity to city or county police.
