Someone called my husband claiming they were come. Ed. + That we were going to get disconnected if we didn't pay at least $200 down by the end of the week. My husband called me on another line to ask me about it because we had gone to ceda for help and he wondered why they were disconnecting us. I told him it didn't sound right. They always send a disconnection notice so I told him to hang up not to give him any information and to call ComEd from our phone# for comed he did and they said immediately it was a scam!

They called posing to be comed. They stated that we had 2 due bills and that they were going to shut off the electricity. They then gave a phone number (855)-255-4661 to call to sort the issue out

The company igs energy came to our house and claimed to be a member of comed here to fix our bill. They had previously tried to do this in September 2024 and I cancelled it. My roommate was home today and showed one of our bills and the guy reactivated my account without my permission and linked it with my comed account without my permission. The issue is that they are a green energy credit company that claims to be cheaper when in fact they make your bill more. Thankfully noticed and learned how it actually works before it affected my bill

A person rang my buzzer and stated that he was following up on several notices that had been sent to me regarding the ComEd solar energy credit program. I told him that I had never received any prior notice about this program, and he stated that I probably threw it away. He told me I could get a credit on my account for signing up for the solar energy program, that all he needed was my account number. I told him I didn't know my account number, then he asked if he could see my energy bill and I said I didn't get my energy bill in the mail it's all digital so he told me to just log in to my account. I told him I didn't have any of that information at the ready and asked if he could come back another time. I looked it up and the solar energy credit program is real, but according to ComEd's website customers should never give out account numbers or show anyone their bill so this man was definitely a scammer. I reported the incident to ComEd as well who said their were aware, though this is the first time I have ever experienced or heard of this tactic.

Two young women gained access to our apartment building and claimed they were checking on all residents to see if they were enrolled in the "solar program." This seemed odd to me so I politely asked them to leave, which they did. Before doing so, they'd asked to me "verify my account" which I knew to be a tip-off.

Two days in a row someone came to my home to tell me about the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program, and to tell me rates were being lowered. They just needed my account number to make sure I was enrolled. When they had me confirm to their colleague over the phone, the person thanked me for enrolling in Rushmore Clean Energy. When I inquired into what that meant, I was told that Rushmore is the provider of the energy for ComEd. I was assured that my bill would still be paid to ComEd. I know now that this was a scam, and have contacted Rushmore for cancellation of my account.

Two guys, ages (18-22) in street clothes, no ComEd ID, rang my doorbell with nothing but an iPad with a SAMPLE ComEd bill. They asked to see my bill and when I told them no they kept asking incessantly. Time of this was 9pm on a Friday. They didn’t get any info from me but nonetheless it was an unsettling experience.

I received a letter from what was posing to be ***, my electric company, asking if I wanted to participate in a peak times savings program, and if I did to go to this website. I was interested and went to the website and it IMMEDIATELY linked to a spam page saying “your iPhone has been compromised!” with a background of what was obviously a false version of the App Store saying it’ll restore my iPhone if only I pay x amount of money. A reputable and large company like *** would never send me a letter with a scam link included. And I typed the link twice to make sure I was spelling it right. Clearly this is not ***.

This group called to tell me that my business was behind 3 months in *** services owed, $1498.

They told me that there is someone coming to shut down my electrical service within the hour if I

did not go and pay for the service within the hour.

They gave me instructions on how to go to a Jewel-Osco to pay in cash.

I hung up and immediately dialed *** back.

*** informed me that they would never call to threaten shut-off and ask for cash.

The company scamming called me back to ask if the payment had been made.

When I called them out they yelled profanities at me and hung up.

A man, African-American, clean appearance, wearing a bowtie, came to our door asking about our utility on our ComEd bill. He wanted to get us to print out the bill and give it to him. After we started to ask more questions, he started to rush out, rendezvousing with his accomplice a few minutes later on the corner.

Hello. I received a phone call from 847-420-6900 tonight saying they were ComEd trying to get me to sign up for a discount program. When I asked to be taken off the call list, the guy hung up on me. I called the phone number back and it's a cell phone. I have emailed FTC, ComEd, and now you. This phone number has been calling me for over a year with a different extension. It's always the same phone number of 847-420-XXXX with the same guy with an accent that hangs up on me when I start talking to him. Please look into this. Thank you.

A person stating they were a representative of ComEd called my elderly mother's home. The home healthcare worker who answered the phone said that the representative stated that the electricity to the house would be shut off due to past due bills and they needed immediate payment to avoid disconnection. The healthcare worker told the "representative" that she needed to speak with our family and they would call back. They wanted money - how much is indeterminate as when we called back the number provided never stated it was ComEd, so we hung up. We then checked and saw mom's account is up-to-date, I told the healthcare worker not to answer calls from this number again.

Called saying my electricity would be disconnected if I didn’t call within the next hour. It was some Hispanic person from a number that when I called back stated I would have to speak to a supervisor if I didn’t speak Spanish. I hung up.

He call me saying that it was from comed and that if I didnt pay 255.00 dollars they will cut my services and freeze my account. He said to go to a family dollar store and buy a card with that amount and that when I was there to call him his name is Victor Guzman.

Have had multiple people come to my door at Great Oaks Apartments in Rockford claiming to be ComEd and trying to get me to verify my phone number and email address in order to supposedly get a gift card. Uniform was not ComEd.

I received a call on 5/16/18 at a doctors office that I work off stating that our electric was going to be turned off in 30 minutes that a truck had been dispatched. I tried getting more information from them but they said my name wasn't on the account and could talk with me. They intern even repeated my address that I was located at. I said we had patients in the office and to give me time to talk with the Dr. and they gave me the number of 312-582-4644 ext 3504 to call back. The Dr. pulled a ComEd bill and called the number directly on it and asked about it and they said they were aware of the scam. This is disturbing and I think the TV stations in our area should run this story. A lot of elderly people, which most aren't on social media, that could be on breathing machines, or other medical supplies would then give these people there credit card numbers to pay over the phone.
