Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Utility provider NV Energy on Monday issued a 'scam alert' about people posing as employees who are demanding payments.

A homeowner or renter should call the company's office to verify the individual is legitimate and if there's any concern that they are not. NV Energy also states that if a worker shows up at a home to check a meter, "he/she can be easily identified by an official company uniform and badge, which will be happily shown to you upon request."
