OUC wants customers to be vigilant about utility-related scams that attempt to gain your personal information. These scams can range from people acting as OUC employees and selling solar panels door-to-door to fraudulent phone calls requesting immediate payment for utility services with the threat of turning off service.

It's vital to be aware of these activities and understand that an OUC representative will NEVER request payment or ask for bank/credit card info over the phone. Also, OUC does NOT conduct door-to-door sales. Field technicians may knock on doors from time-to-time if access is needed to the right-of-way behind your home, and OUC employees and contractors are required to clearly identify themselves by wearing and displaying ID badges.

If you are contacted by phone, email or receive any other communication from someone claiming to be from OUC and requesting personal information, DO NOT respond in any manner. Please call law enforcement immediately if you suspect fraudulent activity.

Customers who doubt the legitimacy of a call or email – especially if payment is requested – should also contact OUC at [email protected] or 407-957-7373. For more on the various utility scams and ways to avoid them, visit ouc.com/scams.

Beware Of Utility Scams

TIME FOR A SAFETY CHECKThe twice-a-year time changes are perfect opportunities to review your household safety checklist:• Check/replace batteries in smoke and carbon

monoxide detectors.• Check/replace expired items in your first aid kit.• Check/replace items in your hurricane/

emergency kit.• Check fire extinguisher pressure/expiration date.• Check/replace burnt out or dimming exterior

light bulbs.• Change flashlight/weather alert radio batteries.
