Very official robo message left regarding urgent matter regarding electric bill (PECO). PECO is not even the electric supplier in this area. Well done misleading, deceptive and illegal call which will have lots of people falling for it and calling them back. This is a scam.
Received a call a few minutes ago from someone ID themselves as 'Mrs. Mitchell'
on regards to something pertaining to PECO. I called # back, and spoke with someone named Dee Dee, who said that this pertained to something called PCAP, some type of financial assistance for low income customers. Told her that I live in a apartment complex and don't get one. Call ended!
Then I also saw this below from 800 Notes, and want to warn people:
717-482-5836 - Hummelstown Pa - On the day after Thanksgiving Day. I just picked up my phone and listened in absolute silence for several seconds before a live human female voice told me to "call her back about several charges on my PECO electric bill, and to have my electric bill account number in hand when I do." First of all, PECO doesn't have an office in Hummelstown, Pa, (Central Pennsylvania - Dauphin Co.); they're located in Philadelphia. Second: They would use an 800 number not a 717 area code at your expense. So, I rang up PECO at 1-800-494-4000. A recorded message states that they are closed for the holidays, so I called this number back and got agent number whatsoever and I told her off. PECO never refers to their customer service representation as "agent number."
Male voice mail message: "Hi, I was looking for Bet...actually I think I have the wrong number. Sorry." This is the second time I've received the same exact fake message. Other blogs say they pretend to be from PECO so don't fall for it people!
