Utility Scam Awareness Day is Wednesday, November 20. PECO reminds customers to stay vigilant as scammers often target utility customers during the holiday season.
What to Watch For:
Scammers may threaten service disconnection unless immediate payment is made.
Calls may appear to come from PECO but are fraudulent.
PECO Tips to Stay Safe:
PECO will never demand immediate payment or require a specific payment method like prepaid cards or cryptocurrency.
Always check your account details directly at peco.com/MyAccount or through the PECO mobile app.
Verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from PECO with photo ID.
Contact PECO at 800-494-4000 if you suspect a scam.

"During the holidays, people are busier and potentially more distracted," said Kelly Colarelli, PECO vice president, customer operations. "The best defense against scams is knowing what to look for and sharing scam-awareness tips with family and friends."
