RCMP warns of scammers posing as Fortis employees

The Town of Nanton and FortisAlberta are cautioning people of a possible scam.

A Facebook post from Fortis says the RCMP notified them of a person going door-to-door posing as a Fortis employee offering solar services.

The person has been showing a FortisAlberta badge and asking to see homeowners' power bills and meters.

According to Fortis, they do not offer solar services and very rarely approach customers at their front door.

They're encouraging anyone approached by a person claiming to be a Fortis employee to verify their identity and credentials and never give out personal information.

The Town of Nanton is asking anyone who suspects they've been approached by a scammer to contact the RCMP or Municipal Enforcement.
