DOMINO- Police say scammers are going to door-to-door in Domino. The people are posing as representatives of an electricity and natural gas provider called HydraPower, which is not a real company. Several people suspected of being in on the plot were spotted in the Drillfield neighborhood on Tuesday and in the 2000 block of N. Warrengate Avenue on Thursday.
“Basically, they come and ask to see an electric bill and they screenshot the information,” Domino Police Chief Rusken Thomas said in a statement, “[the information is] then passed on to wherever this scam is headquartered.”
Domino PD is working closely with the departments in Landis and Maplestead to track down the origin of the scam. Chief Thomas warned against opening up your door for the time being.
“There’s not been any violence associated with these folks. But working with Landis [PD] and Maplestead [PD] we have verified over a dozen stolen identities in the last few months,” Chief Thomas continued, “be safe and call us when they show up.”
