Advisory: A Public Safety Message For Resident & Business Owners who are customers of Edison in Santa Ana

Imposters have been calling business owners telling them they are past due on the electricity bill and must pay immediately using a prepaid cash card.

Here are a few tips on how to avoid being scammed by these imposters:

• Never give out personal information to anyone over the phone.
• Any call that demands immediate payment is suspicious.
• Customers suspecting a fraudulent call should ask for the caller’s name, department, and business phone number. If the caller refuses, terminate the call.
• Verify your account balance by calling Edison directly.

Report any suspicious activity by calling the Santa Ana Police Department at (714) 834-4211 or 911 for emergencies.
