3122390959

This phone number keeps calling me and claiming they are Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) and that I am over paying my bill. The person calling is a male with a heavy Indian accent. He claims that I don't have to pay certain portions of my bill and that PECO is going to repay the amount that is overpaid. I asked him where he was located and his employee ID number. Instead of answering he kept trying to get my information. Once I asked where he was located and he told me Philadelphia I then asked about certain landmarks and he hung up. It is a total scam. Don't give them your information.

Caller ID from Chicago 312-239-0959, man with heavy Indian accent and boiler room background audio present, stated that I had overpaid my electric bill and asked me to get my copy of the bill. I pulled it up on-line. He asked me about certain charges. I asked him what the letters of my Electric Company (abbreviation) meant, I asked him a few times, he ignored me each time and then became defensive. He did not know what the parent company was of my electric company. He was after certain costs but I told him that if he was with that company then he should have that info. I asked him why the caller ID said Chicago and he stated he was not calling from Chicago but calling from my city then from a different city 2 counties away. He finally hung up. I think he was trying get my bank information (due to mentioning my overpayment) or to switch my electric service to another company. I hope everyone takes this scamming attempt seriously and ignore them.

Claimed he was PSE&G to get company account info. He was screened and denied from our staff. He then proceeded to harass us with several follow-up calls, only to be put on hold and eventually hanging up on his own and giving up on us.
