Imagine receiving a call from a supposed subcontractor offering a free LED swap for your fluorescent bulbs. The caller claims to work with PSE&G and mentions a rebate, but provides vague details and pushes you to give personal information. This pattern matches common scam tactics: false affiliation, unsolicited offers, and urgency. Before engaging, verify the company's legitimacy by calling the official PSE&G customer service line or checking the contractor's name on the company's approved vendor list. Hang up if the script feels rehearsed, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection agency. Stay skeptical and protect your data.
From this number, somebody claiming to be Adrian from Ray's Lighting, a subcontractor for PSEG, contacted me about replacing LED lights.
A man contacted me, claiming to be a subcontractor for PSE&G, and offered to exchange fluorescent bulbs for LEDs, and provide rebates, I gave him the number for Accounts Payable.
