Cons, Frauds and Scams
City Employees Claiming To Be Checking Your Service
Recently there have been cases in Mesa and surrounding cities
of criminals posing as City utility workers. These criminals,
who usually work in teams, approach the homeowner and tell them
they are with the City water department. Then one of them
distracts the homeowner by pretending to check the water pipes
while another burglarizes the home. If someone comes to your
door saying they are with the City, you should call the
department they represent and verify that they have workers in
your area. Please be very careful not to open your door to
strangers.
For your reference, here are photos that show the
uniforms that City of Mesa workers would be wearing.
