Stadtwerke Bamberg warns of utility impersonators in Bamberger Osten

Stadtwerke Bamberg has issued a warning regarding unauthorized individuals impersonating utility employees in the Bamberger Osten district. These individuals are reportedly attempting to gain access to residential properties under the guise of performing technical tasks, such as reading electricity meters, to facilitate the fraudulent sale of electricity and internet contracts.

The utility provider emphasizes several key differences between legitimate staff and these imposters. Authentic employees will always present official identification, and their technical duties, such as meter reading, do not involve requesting signatures or soliciting tariff changes at the doorstep. In contrast, the unauthorized solicitors are actively seeking contract signatures and promoting service switches during their visits.

Residents are advised to verify the legitimacy of any personnel by contacting the central Stadtwerke Bamberg telephone number if they suspect fraudulent activity.
