SaskEnergy is warning its customers about a telemarketing scam. The Crown Corporation has received reports that someone is contacting customers, threatening disconnection of their natural gas service unless a bill payment is made in 30 minutes.

Then the customers are told to pay their bill in a number of ways including cash or Bitcoin. Calls have been reported in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Duck Lake and Gull Lake. One call-back number being used by the scammers is 1-866-339-0369.

This is a scam and SaskEnergy asks anyone who gets such a call to call the crown corporation at 1-800-567-8899. And if someone shows up at your door for a payment, call police.
