PEOPLES REMINDS CUSTOMERS TO CHECK I.D. www.stacyromanias.com Peoples Natural Gas is reminding customers to always ask for identification when considering allowing a serviceperson or utility representative into your home or business. Peoples requires all of its customer service employees to wear photo identification. All Peoples employees carry an ID card with their name, photo and the Peoples logo. Also, look for a vehicle with the Peoples logo. Please call the 12 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Upper St. Clair Peoples Customer Service department at 1.800.764.0111 with any questions or concerns, or to confirm an employee’s identity. The following tips on how to answer your door safely come from Carewatch UK: • Legitimate company representatives usually pre-arrange an appointment and will carry photographic identification. • Always ask to see identification before you open the door, and never be afraid to ask the person to wait while you call to check before letting someone into the house. • Never use a telephone number provided by the person at your door—this could connect to an accomplice. Always look up the number yourself. If you are unable to do this, don’t let the person in. • If someone becomes agitated or tries to hurry you, don’t let him/her in. • “Distraction burglars” often work in pairs. Don’t let them in if you don’t know who they are, as one might distract you while the other steals from your home. • If you can, install a door chain so that it can be latched before you open the door. • If you have a front door spy hole, use this to see who is there. Otherwise, use a nearby window. • If you are unable to do any of the above, talk to the person through the door without opening it, and ask to see ID or pass it through the letter slot. • Make sure that you lock your back door before answering the front door to someone you don’t know. • If you have a mobile or cordless telephone, take it to the door with you so that you can call emergency services quickly. Peoples cares about your safety. If you are ever in doubt, don’t let a stranger into your home. Telephone local authorities immediately and notify your neighbors as soon as possible.   ■
