Scam alert: National Grid warns residents to be wary of people going door-to-door [Video]

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — National Grid is warning consumers to be wary of scam artists after it was notified of people going door-to-door, attempting to steal your personal information.

“National Grid never engages in door-to-door solicitation, and (energy service company) employees are not affiliated with us,” the company said in a recent statement.

The company said it does not ask for customer account numbers when visiting a home or calling by phone, so you should be wary if anyone attempts to do so.

Here are some tips to remember if someone approaches your home and says they work for National Grid or another energy service company.
