Manitoba Hydro has received calls from concerned residential customers this week regarding phone solicitations from a company purporting to offer a device that could save them up to 40 per cent on their electricity bills. The solicitations seek credit card numbers from interested customers and also indicate that the device has been approved by Manitoba Hydro.

Manitoba Hydro has not approved of such a device and advises all customers to exercise caution and due diligence if they are contacted by the company. Several customers have also reported that, when requested, the name of the soliciting company is not provided. Unfortunately, more specific details regarding the solicitations are not available.
