Scammers are going door-to-door in an attempt to get Grays Harbor Public Utility District (PUD) customers to pay for new metering equipment. The individual claimed that the existing meter needed to be replaced and the new meter would save the customer money.
"If someone shows up at your door and offers to replace PUD equipment or sell you a new meter, do not under any circumstances give them money or offer your personal information,” says Customer Service Director Katy Moore.
When the PUD does replace equipment, official PUD staff are dispatched to do such work and has no affiliation with companies who offer to replace meters at a lower cost. Recipients of such fraudulent visits should under no circumstances give money or personal information and should call the PUD Customer Service Department at (360) 532-4220 to verify the claim.
