以下是讓您避免成為受害者的須知

隨著詐騙者將 PG&E 顧客鎖定為目標,以下是讓您避免成為受害者的須知 2024 年客戶通報損失超過 334,000 美元 [屋崙訊]公用事業詐騙在 2024 年持續以驚人的速度增加,而 Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) 顧客通報遭到詐騙,損失了超過 334,000 美元。為了阻止此趨勢,PG&E 致力於協助顧客察覺詐騙跡象並避免成為受害者。 針對公用事業顧客的詐欺情形,通常都會有人打電話給您並聲稱自己是 PG&E 的人員,然後威脅說如果不立刻透過預付扣款卡、數位支付行動應用程式或其他匯款方式立即付款的話,就會中斷服務。在此提醒您,PG&E 絕不會在服務中斷前一個小時內向顧客寄發任何通知,而且絕不會要求顧客透過預付扣款卡、禮品卡、任何形式的加密貨幣,或即時行動支付應用程式(如 Zelle® 或 Venmo)支付任何款項。 「詐騙者尋求營造恐慌的場景,恫嚇說若未立即支付,公用事業服務則會斷供。」PG&E 顧客詐欺調查長 Matt Foley 說道。「如果您對於收到的電子郵件、登門拜訪或來電感覺不太對勁,千萬不要上當。掛斷電話、關上門或刪除郵件。請記住,PG&E 絕對不會透過電話或電子郵件詢問您的財務資訊,也不會要求您透過預付扣款卡或其他轉帳方法(包括行動應用程式)來支付款項。」 PG&E 在 2024 年收到近 15,000 次瞄準住宅與商業顧客的詐騙通報,其中顧客通報損失超過 334,000 美元。詐騙受害者平均損失超過 600 美元,而有超過 500 位顧客已通報成為受害者。然而此數據僅是冰山一角,因為許多詐騙都隱匿而未通報。 商業顧客也未能對詐騙免疫。其實 PG&E 今年已收到 528 次瞄準中小型企業詐騙的通報,而這些詐騙經常在繁忙的營業時間發生,詐騙者希望在這段時間能在他們分心或有壓力時騙到不疑有他的受害者。 最近的另一項詐騙趨勢則是詐騙者會建立假造的網站,會在您搜尋與 PGE 相關的服務(例如「帳單支付」或「開始/停止」服務)時提供詐騙電話號碼。這些網站與電話號碼常在手持式裝置用於搜尋與聯絡 PGE 時出現。再次提醒,要與 PG&E 聯絡的顧客應致電顧客服務號碼 800-743-5000,或在 www.pge.com 登入您的帳戶。 詐騙者可以相當具有說服力,而且通常會找最容易上當的人下手,包括年長者及低收入社群。他們也會在客戶服務繁忙時間,向小型企業老闆進行詐騙。然而有了正確的資訊,顧客可以學習察覺並報告這些貪婪詐騙,請造訪網站 …
