In addition, the utility reminds customers that its employees will always carry an employee badge and will drive a company vehicle with the SourceGas logo clearly visible. If a customer is unsure about any contact they receive from SourceGas, they are encouraged to call 1-800-563-0012 to verify the situation. Customers who think they have been a victim of a scam involving their account should call SourceGas at 1-800-563-0012.
