Better Business Bureau Warns of Nicor Gas Phone Scam |

A representative from Nicor Gas has said that number is not affiliated with the company. They believe this may be part of a utility scheme.
To reach Nicor Gas directly, call (888) 642-6748.
You can also contact the BBB by calling (309) 688-5124 or sending an email to [email protected].
