A HOMEOWNER has gone to extreme lengths to inform others of a group he believes tried to scam him who were disguised as air conditioning maintenance.
Bruce Allan from Las Vegas, Nevada, received a phone call claiming to be from the Nevada Energy Savings Program which insisted he get a check-up on his AC.

Allan asked what the official name of their company is and they did not give him a direct answer, he explained to CBS-affiliated KLAS in Las Vegas.
He was told the Nevada Energy Savings Program works with multiple energy companies.
The angered man reached out to his local news, the police, and NV Energy about his situation.
“It makes me very angry and that’s why I let this go as far as it did,” Allan told KLAS.
Allan explained how the phone call went, saying, “She claimed to be working with the Nevada Energy Savings Program.”
“So, I said what is the company name you represent?
“And she said well we will tell you that there are several we can choose from.”
The Las Vegas resident allowed the group to come to his house and inspect his AC unit.
SUSPICIOUS
He instantly became suspicious because the maintenance person arrived in a white van with no branding and did not have any business cards either.
Allan said the maintenance man referred to himself as just “Bayne.”
“He said like Wayne but with a B,” Allan added.
Bayne told Allan he needed a new AC unit and the Nevada Energy Savings Program could offer him a $40,000 credit line to get one.Allan decided to get a second opinion from another AC company.
The other AC company informed Allan his AC unit was perfectly fine and that HVAC companies usually would not operate the way the other group did.]
They said we haven’t heard of that scam, but it definitely is not how HVAC companies do business.

“They said we haven’t heard of that scam, but it definitely is not how HVAC companies do business,” Allan said.
The group Allan was in contact with told him one of the energy companies they work with is Eco Air LLC.
Allan’s local news reached out to Eco Air to get more information.
Eco Air told KLAS they have received other similar calls about people pretending to work with them and how they believe this is a scam.
“We have not had any service around that area,” Eco Air told KLAS.
“We also received a call from a homeowner who stated they also had someone knocking at their door and a call from ECO Air and Plumbing.
“We believe these are scammers.
“We hope homeowners don’t fall for this.”
Allan insists scammers “need to stop this, it’s just not right,” he told KLAS.
Nevada Energy does not include anything about a savings program on its website.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Nevada Energy for comment on the matter.
