Key Points
- Door-to-door energy scams typically involve someone visiting your home and pretending to be a representative from an energy provider, utility, or solar company.
- A scammer’s goal is to get you to give them your money or your personal information.
- If a door-to-door salesperson ever makes you uncomfortable, ask them to leave immediately and lock your door. Contact law enforcement if a stranger refuses to leave your property.
