This is actually from Penelec, a First Energy Company with questions about your billing. A valid call not a scam...

Scammer claiming to be JCP&L, the energy company about unpaid bills. Basically, it's a fake debt collection call or past due reminder. How do they get away with this?

First Energy calling customers about delinquent bills. Not a scammer. If you don't do business with them then they must have the wrong number for some reason. Perhaps, you did some recent account changes or they have upgraded their systems and made some kind of mistake. Legit call though.

I don't have any accounts or never had with JCP&L. So to me this is a very big obvious scam operation being run here. No idea how they were able to obtain my personal info but clearly this line is not to be trusted.

This is Jersey Central Power & Light trying to inform you that you your bill is past due. Not a scam. I was actually behind on my bill and paid it up now due to the reminder. However, it is is a scam if they ask for a green dot payment or some kind of prepaid card as a form of payment. Probably spoofing in that case.

This is NOT Penelec. It's scammers! Here's the info from First Energy's site:

I just had to file a police report because they were trying to scam me. It's a robo dialer similar to one you'd receive if you were very behind on payments. It even said my husband's name. But the 888 number is wrong. It's not Penelec. Beware!
