Pay Power Scam

There is a New Scam going on posing as  Enersource

A person will call saying that they are from Enersource and that your power will be disconnected if you do not pay $450.00.


There was a problem and you payed your bills to the wrong account number. We will re-imburse you with the money Tomorrow in a Cheque for the same amount. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This call is being recorded will be mentioned many times during the conversation to really get your attention.

You must go to Rexall Pharmacy and ask the lady behind the counter for a PayPower Reload Card with a 10 Digit scratch portion located in the back of this card.


You are to call us back at 1 844-859-5019 Ext 886 and Ask for the floor Supervisor, Jason Field

You must give him the 10 digit number on the back of the card and he will contact the correct person so that your power will not be disconnected.

They even provide a reference number: Ours was 9900786


This is how the Scam goes.

Several things to be aware of are:

1. The Number that these people are using is coming from the United States

1-844-859-5019  

2. If you actually call the Number a message comes on asking what your age is and to press the correct number to indicate whether you are over 18 or under 18.

3. They actually keep calling you back and when you ask them to stay on the line they hang up.

4. They specifically ask for the Scratch Pay Power Card with the 10 Digit number on the back.

5. The payment has to be made this way only.

6.  No  service will be disconnected without you first getting a warning letter etc, or some kind of previous notice of termination of services.

7. Enersource is aware of the situation, as they have a message saying to be aware of these     
    scammers.

8. When you come against anything slightly peculiar like this , always call the Service first to identify that it is indeed Legitimate and there is a problem.


Hope this helps you.
