Never ignore a missed call from a utility outage line—verify it promptly. If the caller ID shows a name like TSG or PSEG, treat it as a possible outage notification but still double‑check with your electric provider’s official website or customer service line. Avoid sharing personal or payment information unless you’re sure the call is legitimate; scammers often masquerade as utility reps to demand money. Listen for clear branding and specific details about your address or recent service interruptions. When in doubt, hang up and call the utility’s known number back to confirm the message. Keeping a record of the call can help you report any suspicious activity.
On August 10th, 2023, at 7:06 pm, I received a call from a TSG phone number, which I suspect to be a scam, given the late hour and lack of power outages in my area of Queens, NY.
no coment, just 800-490-0025
This is a legitamate number from PSEG
This number is actually used by PSEG-LI for reporting power outages, although it appears as TSG on caller ID.
This number is associated with my electric company, PSEG
The caller claimed my power would be turned off due to non-payment and requested account information, which is clearly a scam; it has been reported to the FTC.
This number appears to be legitimate.
Notification from the electric company regarding the end of an outage
A suspicious automated message claimed to be my last chance to reduce credit card interest rates, but when I tried to respond, the call was abruptly terminated.
Comcast is the company behind this number
A scammer contacted my workplace, claiming my electricity would be disconected due to nonpayment, but after being told it was a public school and the bill is always payed, the caller became evasive and hung up before I could transfer the call to the superintendents office, definatly a scam
I recieved a scam call from someone claiming to be Dominion Power, saying i owed them money, what a scammm
This number is asociated with the electric company, thats what i found out
They claim to be from the electricy service of my old adress with a debt, but thats a lie because the service was payed and in anoter persons name.
Apparently, the electricity service is allegedly suspended due to non-payment under my name, although they referenced my previous residence and the service was always registered to someone else.
TSG shows up on my caller ID, they are calling about power outage notifications.
After noticing the caller ID said TSG, I contacted PSEG to inform them that their automated call system is not functioning correctly
Earlier this evening, the power was shut off while PSEG was working on the utility poles outside. After the power was restored, I received a call from PSEG to inform me about the situation. What I find puzzling is that the caller ID displayed TSG instead of PSEG.
Following an outage, I recieved a call from this number.
PSE&GLI robocaller called to apoligize for a power outage caused by a car hitting a utillity pole, but the message was poorly spoken and had alot of backround noise, it sounded like they were calling from the 90's
Following an outage yesterday, recieved a call from Pseg to appologize
Pseg did call to apologize for the outage the night before, it's nice to finally know why we lost power, especally since my husband use a breathing apparatus to sleep...
A call from pseg was recieved, they apologized for a outage we had the night before, it's nice to know why you lose power in the middle of night, especialy since my husband use's breathing apparatus to sleep.
This morning, a call was received from this number, in addition to another call from Key Span at 516-545-8013
I received the identical message, which seems to be a repetitive pattern.
I got a message from LIPA about updating my contact info, its been almost a year since Sandy
LIPA is trying to improove their public image, but it seem too late for that, they didnt even provide power for 2 week
I recived a call from this number a few minites ago, and they left a message, however the message was cut off and I didnt hear the begining, all I heard was "thank you for your patience", has anyone else experianced this?
It seems to be a LIP Emergency Notifications, appartently.
