Expert Opinion

If you see a call from +18007435000 claiming to be PG&E, treat it as a fake utility scam. Never share account numbers, payment info, or click links from a voicemail. Hang up, then call the official PG&E number from your bill to verify any alleged service issue. Consider adding the number to your phone’s block list and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service. Keep an eye on your online account for unexpected activity, and educate household members that legitimate utilities won’t demand immediate payment over the phone. Staying skeptical and double‑checking can stop the scammers in their tracks.
