ANOTHER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON SCAM

Be skeptical about phone calls from supposedly official parties.  Managing Editor Tami Roleff warns about a scam targeting business customers of Edison…

Imposters claiming to be from SoCal Edison are calling businesses and telling them their electric bills are overdue. The caller then demands immediate payment through a prepaid cash or debit card to avoid having the business’s electricity disconnected. The scammers then collect the value deposited on the card. A Southern California Edison spokeswoman said SCE employees will never ask for payment over the phone or at a customer’s business or residence, nor does SoCal Edison accept PayPal payments. Customers suspecting a fraudulent call should ask for the caller’s name, department, and business phone number, and then they should call SCE at 800-655-4555 to report the incident.

Reporting for Z107.7, this is managing editor Tami Roleff.
