SaskPower is making customers aware of a current scam regarding smart meters.
The company said people have been receiving phone calls telling them they can have a smart meter for $900.
Scammers are leaving a callback number that takes customers to a menu that sounds like SaskPower’s.
SaskPower said it’s not a legitimate call, warning customers to not provide any payment information and to not call back.
