HNN Staff

Allegheny Power is warning West Virginians to watch out for a scam.

Here's how it operates: Two men pose as Allegheny utility workers or contractors. Work in pairs,one occupies the homeowner while the other rifles through the home.

All Allegheny workers carry ID. If someone comes to your door claiming to be an Allegheny worker, check their ID, and call Allegheny to verify that they are legitimate workers before letting them inside.
