SEMCO Customers Warned Of Door-To-Door Scam: Fake Employees Soliciting Sensitive Information

SEMCO Energy Gas Company has received multiple reports from customers about door-to-door solicitors falsely claiming to be SEMCO employees. These impostors are requesting copies of customers’ gas bills and banking details. SEMCO, however, emphasizes that they do not engage in door-to-door solicitation and never ask for such sensitive information.

Customers are strongly urged to exercise caution and avoid sharing personal data with strangers. SEMCO advises against revealing utility bills, driver’s licenses, or bank account numbers to anyone at the door. 

To verify the legitimacy of any claims, customers are encouraged to research independently, particularly regarding utility rates. SEMCO’s rates are regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission and can be verified online.

To report harassment or suspicious activities, customers are advised to contact local law enforcement and the MPSC at (800) 292-9555.
