With people spending more time at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, imposters are taking advantage of ComEd customers who may be alone to rob them of their possessions and financial information. These imposters can show up at small businesses as well as homes.
Since 2017, ComEd has experienced a 60-percent increase in reports of scams and scam attempts into its call center. ComEd reminds customers to be on the lookout for imposters trying to steal from them using energy-related scams.
