FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 PG&E warns the community to be on the lookout for impersonators of employees trying to get customer information.<\/p>\n

Pacific Gas and Electric has received multiple reports from residents in Fresno County about imposters claiming that they can help customers save money.<\/p>\n

The imposters say they can help by seeing a copy of the customer’s bill.<\/p>\n

Sharing a copy of the bill gives the scammers access to financial information and the ability to make changes to the account without your authorization.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips to avoid the scam.<\/p>\n

If someone claims to be an employee, you should ask the employee to show their PG&E identification.<\/p>\n

All employees are prepared to show it upon request.<\/p>\n

Customers can call 800-743-5000 to confirm whether an individual is there on official company business.<\/p>\n

PG&E says \u201dIf someone says they are with PG&E and asks to see your bill, they are not with PG&E, and you should close the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers should also call 911 if the imposter tries to gain entrance to their home or if they feel they are in danger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO COUNTY, Calif.
