Southern California Edison Warns of Scammers Threatening Disconnections

Southern California Edison (SCE) is warning customers about a new scam where fraudsters pose as company representatives, threatening to disconnect power or remove electrical meters unless immediate payments are made. SCE clarified that it never demands payments over the phone or warns of sudden disconnections. While anyone can fall victim to this scam, criminals primarily target the elderly, non-native English speakers, and small business owners. To protect yourself, SCE urges customers to make payments only through their official online accounts. If you suspect a call is fraudulent, avoid engaging and report the incident to SCE directly. Always verify through official channels to stay safe.
