Caught On Camera: Fake Duke Energy Reps Knock On St. Petersburg Home Door
Several individuals were caught on security camera posing as representatives of Duke Energy in a St. Petersburg neighborhood.
St. Pete Police are warning to be wary of a crew claiming to be part of Duke Energy. They showed up to a house around 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. The homeowner apparently thought it seemed odd, and did not let them inside. The men were wearing plain clothes, and one was even carrying a camera.
After the incident, the homeowners called St. Pete Police and showed them the video. Duke Energy confirmed that the crew was not part of their company. According to Duke Energy, crews only work on weekends when there is an emergency, and they always wear uniforms and carry Duke Energy I.D.
Police were unable to find the crew in the neighborhood.
