  MONTHLY POLICE REPORT  -  JULY 2017

Don’t fall for scammers (by PPL)

Phone callers who impersonate PPL Electric Utilities give themselves away by doing two things the utility doesn’t -

• They claim they’ll cut off power immediately if they don’t get paid, and

• They pressure you to pay them by buying prepaid cards. (In real life, PPL gives plenty of notice when there’s a possible risk of shutoff, and they don’t pressure anyone to use specific payment methods.)

You can always check your account status by logging on at pplelectric.com or calling PPL at 1-800-DIAL-PPL. If you get a suspicious or threatening call that claims to come from another company – like a utility or a bank – do the same thing: Hang up and contact the company directly using a trusted method, like the phone number on your monthly statement.

At PPL, service termination always is a last resort. When it does occur, it is preceded by a formal notification process that involves a letter and phone call as well as a posting at the address in question. PPL Electric Utilities attempts to work with all customers to help ensure uninterrupted service.
