Description
Scammers are continuing to aggressively target PECO customers. The scammers are threatening to shut off service to get customers to make payments and share their personal, financial, or account information. 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.
What to watch out for:
PECO will NEVER DEMAND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT to avoid service termination, nor will we ever require one specific form of payment, such as a prepaid card, bitcoin, or third-party digital money transfers such as Zelle or ApplePay.
For approved payment methods and options, visit peco.com/payment.
How to avoid being scammed:
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.
