An unsettling scam has emerged on the doorsteps of Worcester residents. The Worcester Police Department has issued a warning regarding a pair of impostors—a man and a woman—who have been attempting to infiltrate homes by posing as utility workers. According to a statement on the department's official Facebook page, these individuals claim affiliation with the Sewer Department, ADT, or the electric company.
The duo was last seen conducting their dubious operations in the Burncoat area, evidently working separately in a nefarious bid to gain access to homes. The police have not yet disclosed their identities or whether any citizens have been duped by their charades. Locals are prompted to remain vigilant; the authorities advise reaching out directly to service providers in case of doubt; and residents should not hesitate to contact emergency services if they suspect any foul play.
The local police continue to investigate, gathering statements and evidence to stop the fraudsters' attempts before more citizens are compromised. As a precaution, residents are reminded to always ask for identification and confirm any appointment with service companies before allowing entry to anyone.
