ATTENTION RESIDENTS:
Atlantic City Electric is urging customers to be aware of a scam that has been targeting utility customers across the United States for more than five years. Customers in South Jersey have recently contacted the company to report they have been targeted with the popular “green dot” scam.
• If a customer receives a call from someone stating they are calling to collect a bill payment for Atlantic City Electric, the caller should be able to provide specific information including:
o Account name
o Account address
o Account number
o Amount of current balance
If the caller cannot provide this information, it is likely the call is not coming from Atlantic City Electric. In this case, customers should not provide any information, and call Atlantic City Electric immediately at 1-800-642-3780 to report the situation.
Customers should never provide their social security number or banking or credit card information by phone unless they have initiated the call.
