Sault utility warns of text scam about upcoming power disruption
PUC Services Inc. in Sault Ste. Marie is alerting the public, especially those in the real estate industry, about a scam involving text messages falsely claiming to be from a PUC field technician. (File) PUC Services Inc. in Sault Ste. Marie is alerting the public, especially those in the real estate industry, about a scam involving text messages falsely claiming to be from a PUC field technician. 'These messages typically warn of an upcoming service disconnection and may request a response or follow-up call,' PUC said in a news release Friday. Poor grammar, odd area code 'PUC would like to clarify that we do not send text messages regarding service disconnections. Scammers would likely use deceptive tactics to trick recipients into responding.' The messages often have poor spelling or unusual grammar, PUC said, display out-of-province area codes such as 718 and may reference incorrect or mismatched property addresses. Anyone who receives such a message should not respond in any way. Instead, customers are asked to contact PUC to verify a message at 705-759-6500 or email 'PUC urges everyone to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity,' the release said.
