How to be sure a utility person is legit

Storms with heavy rain and high winds take a toll on homes this time of year, bringing utility people knocking on the door. This note provides a few tips on how to feel sure it's a real dlocal service representative. - From local utility service KU/LGE

Authentic ID cards will feature the employee's photo and name, plus a company logo. Also be sure to confirm the vehicle they arrived in features the same logo.

If you're still not sure, note the person's name and politely ask them to wait outside. Then call us (LG&E and KU at 502-589-1444 or 800-331-7370 and ODP at 800-981-0600), and they'll help confirm the person is in fact a representative from the company.

Finally, keep in mind that our employees visiting your home will never ask for payment or personal information, including credit or debit card numbers.
