Expert Opinion

If you see a call from +1‑800‑743‑5002, it’s most often an automated utility alert that pretends to be Pacific Gas & Electric. The message usually warns of a power outage or a non‑payment shutdown. Because the number can be easily spoofed, treat it like any other spoof call: don’t share personal or payment info, and double‑check the claim on PG&E’s official website or by calling the number listed on your bill. If the alert is unexpected, let the voicemail go to voicemail, then verify. Frequent unwanted calls can be blocked at the carrier level or reported to the FTC.
