The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is warning the public about potentially fraudulent activity in DC concerning PEPCO.

Police say that a call to a business or residence saying “your PEPCO bill is overdue and unless you provide funds within the next hour your service will be shut off” is an attempt to gain money from people that will not be applied to their PEPCO account.

In most cases, these funds are not recoverable and victims will still owe PEPCO.
