Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these calls masquerade as electric‑company agents demanding immediate cash. The script repeatedly mentions overdue power bills, imminent shut‑offs, and wire transfers, while refusing to provide account details—classic red flags. Callers switch between utilities such as Southern California Edison, Ameren, PSE&G, and Dominion Power to broaden their reach. Never share personal or payment information, and always verify the claim by calling the official number on your bill. Report the number to your carrier and local law‑enforcement, and consider adding it to a blocklist. Staying skeptical and using caller ID tools can curb future encounters.
