Beware Of New Smart Meter Phone Scam.
The Nova Scotia RCMP is warning members of the public about a phone scam where the caller poses as a Nova Scotia Power (NSP) employee.
The scammer wants you to believe that you didn’t pay for your smart meter installation, indicating that if you don’t pay up immediately, your power will be disconnected within an hour. The scammer adds that a technician is on their way to your residence.
This is a scam designed to trick people into providing their personal information, including bank or credit card details.
If you have questions about your NSP account – or any other account – after an unexpected phone call, hang up and contact the service provider directly.
