Scam: BC Hydro Call

Be aware BC Hydro scam caller to get your credit card details

Someone called today saying he was from BC Hydro and that he had a work order for my address this afternoon.  I said, "Are you sure?" and he confirmed my address.  I then enquired about the work to be done and he replied that I had been given two shut off notices.  I laughed and hung up, but this could be very scary at this time of year for anyone who hadn’t paid their recent bill, or thought their billing was incorrect.  Apparently this scam has been around for a long time, but I’d never heard about it.
