PECO Customers - Protect Yourself from Scammers
Scammers are continuing to aggressively target PECO customers, using sophisticated tactics to pocket quick cash. Scammers have been taking advantage of PECO’s recent system upgrades to manipulate and confuse customers into making immediate payments. Even with our system changes, our termination and shutoff processes have not changed. These scammers are contacting PECO customers and falsely claiming their electric or natural gas service will be disconnected unless payment is made immediately. The most important thing to remember is to never give out your account or billing information to an unverified person. If you ever receive a suspicious phone call, text message, email, or have an unscheduled visit from someone in-person claiming to be from PECO, do not share your information and call us directly at 800-494-4000.
- PECO will NEVER DEMAND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, nor will we ever require one specific form of payment, such as a prepaid card, bitcoin, or third-party digital money transfers.
- For approved payment methods and options, visit peco.com/payment.
-
DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION. A real PECO representative will have the account information they need when they call.
- Keep your banking and financial information safe. You can update your banking information through your MyAccount or make a payment through an approved method at peco.com/payment.
-
CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT STATUS, BALANCES, PAYMENTS, AND SUPPLIER INFORMATION YOURSELF on your printed bill or log on to your PECO MyAccount or download the PECO mobile app.
For more information on utility scams and what you can do to keep your information safe, visit peco.com/scams. If you are ever suspicious of someone claiming to be from PECO, call us directly at 800-494-4000.

Beware of EZ Pass Scam
A new phishing scam is targeting E-ZPass account holders requesting information to settle outstanding toll amounts. The texts claim to be from “Pa Turnpike Toll Services” and center around urgent requests with your account that would result in a late fee if the balance does not get settled. Similar scams have been reported by toll agencies across the country in the past several days.
Customers who receive an unsolicited text, email or similar message suggesting it is from E-ZPass or another toll agency should not click the link. E-ZPass account holders can use approved safe methods to check their accounts such as the PA Turnpike E-ZPass website or the PA Toll Pay app available from the Apple App Store or Google Play store.
Those who receive a fraudulent text can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. The site is dedicated to sharing information on internet crimes across law enforcement agencies.

Montco Tax Rebates for Volunteer Fire & EMS
The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners today authorized a property tax rebate program for volunteer members of fire companies and eligible nonprofit emergency medical service (EMS) agencies in Montgomery County to acknowledge the value and dedication of active EMS volunteers and to encourage others to become involved.
To qualify for a tax rebate under the Active Volunteer Service Tax Rebate Program, an individual must have been a member of a volunteer fire company or eligible EMS agency for the entire eligibility period. Emergency responders will be able to receive a rebate of 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of their real estate property tax of Montgomery County, depending on their participation in emergency response calls, trainings, public education activities, leadership roles, and other activities.
