One of our tenants received a call from someone purporting to be from Enwin today. The caller demanded that they pay $4,000 within the next few hours or their power would be turned off. As a restaurant, they were very concerned at the potential loss of power and called us immediately.

I called Enwin, paid bill in hand, and they told me that this is a common scam going around the area. If Enwin were to cut off your power they would firstly call the person to whom the bill is issued and secondly give a 48 hour notice. If you receive a call like this, Enwin is asking that you call the Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit so that they can track incidents and hopefully stop the culprits from continuing this scam. Please let everyone you know that this is happening so they are not fooled should they receive such a call.
