Cops: PSEG Phone Scams Continue

Glen Cove is currently experiencing a rash of PSEG phone scams, authorities said.

Scammers have been calling PSEG Long Island customers, claiming to represent the utility and demanding immediate payment using a Green Dot Money Pak, which is a type of pre-paid card available at pharmacies and convenience stores, according to Glen Cove Police.

Police say that PSEG-LI does not accept these prepaid Green Dot cards. In addition, PSEG-LI customers who are scheduled for disconnection due to nonpayment receive written notice on their bill at least 10 days in advance.

If you believe you are being scammed, hang up the phone and contact PSEG-LI directly at 800-490-0025. If you believe you are a victim of this type of phone scam, contact Glen Cove police at (516) 676-1000.
