It's possible. Basic scams like this can be very effective because often people don't have enough time to think or question. You can protect yourself by:

1) Knowing exactly who your electric, water, gas, etc. company is and what their customer service number is.

2) Not answering your door unless it's someone you know or are expecting.

3) If someone shows up claiming to need access inside your house, call your company's number (not any number they offer you, obviously) and ask them if the person at your door is their representative. Do this without opening the door.

If a company actually needs access to your house, they're not just going to send some dude to knock on your door and needing access to your house is highly unlikely.
