Contingency network of city Fröndenberg Wickede alerts once more about deceptive phone calls of questionable authenticity
In recent days, residents of Fröndenberg Wickede have reported receiving fraudulent calls from individuals posing as employees or partners of energy suppliers. These calls are designed to obtain personal data such as meter numbers or contract information.
Fröndenberg Wickede City Utilities, the local authority responsible for energy supply, are warning citizens about these scams and advising them to be cautious. They remind citizens not to share personal data during these calls, as Fröndenberg Wickede City Utilities do not make telephone contract offers or conduct tariff consultations through external service providers.
If you have accidentally agreed to a supplier change, you can withdraw it within 14 days. Withdrawing a supplier change within this period is done in writing. Ideally, withdrawal should be made by registered mail, but you can also contact the Federal Network Agency, the competent federal authority for such issues in Germany, via their online complaint form, email, phone, or regular mail.
The Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) is responsible for monitoring and sanctioning fraudulent activities in the energy sector, including unauthorized or misleading supplier calls. They ensure compliance with energy market laws and protect consumers from scams.
