Every day across the country, electric and natural gas customers, along with telephone, water, and other essential services customers, are being targeted by scammers impersonating utilities, typically online, in-person, and by telephone. In fact, during September and October, the number of attempted scams reported to PG&E increased by 65%.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, scammers have increased calls, texts, emails, and in-person tactics and are constantly contacting utility customers asking for immediate payment to avoid service disconnection.
