Anyone Know Who This Fake ComEd Employee Is?

The man allegedly knocked on a Joliet resident's door posing as an employee.

Police are looking for information that will lead to the identity of a man posing as a ComEd employee.

The person shown in the photo allegedly knocked on the door of a house in the 1100 block of North Center Street posing as a ComEd employee, according to a post on the Joliet Police Department’s Facebook page.


When confronted by the resident he became angry and left in a hurried manner. He appeared to be communicating with someone in a brown or tan older Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon.

ComEd recently warned customers to be aware of scams of this type.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Schumacher at 815-724-3039 or call Will County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-323-6734.
