OCPO Warns of JCP&L scam

OCPO: We’ve received multiple reports of a phone scam again circulating around Ocean County.

The caller states they are from JCP&L and that you are behind in payments, which will result in your power being shut off. They tell you to call this number 1 866 996-9725 EXT 3500 and ask for Lucas.

They also provide a file number of 9073 that you can use to make payments with Rite Cards or Green cards for $500. They will not accept credit cards.

REALLY??? Please TELL THEM TO GET A JOB AND JUST HANG UP!!!!

Below is a link to First Energy (JCP&L) web site providing additional info to protect yourself from these pitifully unscrupulous criminals.
