PEOPLES REMINDS
CUSTOMERS TO CHECK I.D.
Peoples Natural Gas is reminding customers
to always ask for identification
when considering allowing a serviceperson
or utility representative into your home or
business. Peoples requires all of its customer
service employees to wear photo identification.
All Peoples employees carry an ID card with
their name, photo and the Peoples logo. Also,
look for a vehicle with the Peoples logo. Please
call the Peoples Customer Service department
at 1.800.764.0111 with any questions or
concerns, or to confirm an employee’s identity.
The following tips on how to answer your
door safely come from Carewatch UK:
• Legitimate company representatives
usually pre-arrange an appointment and
will carry photographic identification.
• Always ask to see identification before
you open the door, and never be afraid to
ask the person to wait while you call to
check before letting him/her into the house.
• Never use a telephone number provided
by the person at your door—this could
connect to a n accomplice. Always look up
the number yourself. If you are unable to do
this, don’t let anyone in.
• If the person becomes agitated or tries to
hurry you, don’t let him/her in.
• “Distraction burglars” often work in pairs.
Don’t let them in if you don’t know who
they are, since one might distract you while
the other one steals from your home.
• If you can, install a door chain so that you
can have it latched before you open the door.
• If you have a front door spy hole, use this
to see who is there. Otherwise, use a
nearby window.
• If you are unable to do any of the above,
talk to the person through the door without
opening it, and ask to see the ID or pass it
through the letter slot.
• Make sure that you lock your back door
before answering the front door to someone
you don’t know.
• If you have a mobile or cordless telephone,
take it to the door with you so that you can
call emergency services quickly.
Peoples cares about your safety. If you are
ever in doubt, don’t let a stranger into your
home. Telephone local authorities immediately
and notify your neighbors as soon as possible.
