PPL warns residents against scam
SCRANTON - PPL Electric Utilities is warning residents about scams involving telemarketers and door-to-door sales representatives claiming to be from the company and encouraging people to switch providers.
PPL officials said their employees and contractors do not do that, and are required to carry identification. Residents should always ask to see identification before opening their doors, and should not share personal information. Residents should call PPL at either 1-888-342-5775 or 1-888-289-7693, and their local police if they suspect a scam.
