Reports of a PSEG Scam

PSEG Scam

We are getting reports of a PSEG scam where criminals are calling households & cell phones demanding money under threat of utility shut off.

Protect yourself:

Never divulge account or personal information, including Social Security numbers or debit or credit card information, unless you are certain you are speaking to a PSE&G representative.

PSE&G representatives will only discuss the account with the “Customer of Record.” They will explain why they are calling and provide the customer’s account name, address and current balance. If the representative can’t provide that information, they are not likely calling from PSE&G.

If you have doubts about the legitimacy of a call or an email — especially one in which payment is requested — call PSE&G directly at 1 800 436 PSEG (7734).
