The NPD has an important message for you! SCAM ALERT
The Newark Police Department is investigating a theft by false pretenses where a con artist is calling victims pretending they are from PG&E. The crook scams the victim into loading up a pre-paid credit card with cash. The victim then provides the credit card information to the thief. This scam has been going on throughout the Bay Area.
Please note PG&E doesn't call customers with solicitation offers! If they reach out to customers it is to notify due to an outage and most likely that is an automated call. PG&E almost never make live phone calls to customers.
Remember never provide credit card or other personal information over the phone when you did not make the call.
