Don’t Let Caller ID Spoofing Hang You Up
That ‘Southern California Edison’ phone call may not be legit.
By Susan Cox
Your telephone rings and a Southern California Edison number appears on your caller ID display.
You answer and the caller says they are affiliated with SCE and want to talk to you about solar installations or other products and services that can save you money on your electric bill. They may then ask about your electricity usage and other personal information.
Beware! This may sound like a legitimate SCE call, but it’s not. It’s a caller ID spoofing scam.
