Customers should watch out for people posing as gas company employees to get into their homes to commit a crime, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) warned. The company says its employees who work on in-home appliances, gas meters or service natural gas pipelines wear uniforms and carry official photo IDs.
“SoCalGas encourages customers to verify the uniform and proper identification of utility workers before letting anyone into their home or property,” Jimmie Cho, SoCalGas vice president of field services, said in a release. “Customer safety is a top priority for SoCalGas and our employees will gladly wait while customers confirm their identity.”
SoCalGas says customers should question anyone who says they represent SoCalGas and ask for identification before letting people into their home.
