Consumer Alert – Energy Sales Scam

Consumer Alert – Energy Sales Scam

Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation has been notified of potential fraudulent activity that could be happening in Oshawa.  We would like to warn our ratepayers that there are reports that consumers in the Greater Toronto Area have been approached by salespeople claiming to represent the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), offering energy conservation rebates on furnaces or water heaters and other financial incentives and saying that a home inspection was required.

These claims are untrue and violate OEB regulations that protect consumers. Consumers with questions or concerns about any sales calls or door-to-door experiences are encouraged to contact the OEB at 1-877-632-2727 within the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. 

Please be aware that Oshawa Power does not send anyone door to door to sell products, services or contracts.  Anyone representing Oshawa Power will have proper identification with them and you may contact us Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 905-723-4623 if you have any questions or concerns.
