800-334-7661 / 8003347661

i got a call from "comed" stating that my meter was broken and i needed to go buy a GREEN DOT MONEY PACK at a local walmart or cvs pharmacy. they said that my meter was overmeasuring the kilowatts and my bill was going to be more than $600. they said in order to avoi this i had to depoist money in the green dot money pack so the technitian would come and replace the meter. they said that the overwhelming amout of energy used blocked the account and i had to deposit money call a number to verify the payment and everything would be refunded. and im sitting here asking myself, "this is commed and they cant accees my account? why do i have to pay and get someone to come to my house and change the meter so commed could open my account" so i was somewhat conviced, but not 100%, so i called commed to double check that something was wrong becaue i far as i know no company charges you to replace thier meteres or cant acces your account. and sure enogh, once i reached a person i told them what happend and they said that i just avoided getting scammed. they advised me to go to the police and make a report. bewere people be smart if something doesnt seem right it usually isnt. the number they originally called was this one 1-800-334-7661, told me when i was done depositing money in the green dot money pack to call this number so they could get the problem fixed. 1-414-446-2189. beware of these numbers people

Automated voice message that says they are PECO (which is an Exelon company just like ComEd which is Chicago based). I just let it go to voicemail. I just moved into an apartment about a month ago and don't have an individual meter. Plus my 1st electric bill isn't due until 11/14/13. I know the apartment buildings would have meters. But PECO would deal with the property manager for readings, not call individual tenants. PECO closes for normal customer service at 5pm EST. So I called the 800 number on my phone which ended up being customer service number for ComEd. I explained the situation to the woman on the phone who did look up my name and phone number which lead her to my address. She said that sometimes these calls go out if there are estimates being done for service. But she said that my buildings are actually set up for service and couldn't explain why I would be getting calls. Her suggestion was to just call PECO during their business hours to have me removed from whatever is triggering an automated call to my phone as it is probably just a system error.

The same thing happend to my mother in law only this time they clame to be from Peco energy but they used the same number they gave u and the same story but by the time I did the research about the phone number she already have pay the guy $300, sucks but she knew the truth. the next day they call back saying that they return the money through money gram but it would not be ready until next day and they need it another immediate payment of $250 jajaja my mother in law flip out and tell the guy in pretty words some behind references and he hang up and never call back!

This number has called nine times in the last three hours, lets it ring 3 times and hangs up. Im an in Chicago and we are in the middle of crippling, dangerous sub zero temps and snow. The power did go out yesterday morning (for 4 hours, my apt. got down to 48 degrees when it went back on). If this is ComEd calling about something legit it would be nice if they left messages, if it's just to say "is your power on" or to let us know it might be off as they fix things...whatever. Many people are not only stranded at work (highways are closed, schools are closed) but if it's something with the power it's time to go to a hotel. If they just want to follow up, how tough is that to say? I'm expecting too many calls right now to tie up my phone, but they're managing by calling me. I owe them no money.
