Atlantic City Electric customers lost more than $205,000 to phone scams in 2023 – nearly 30% more than the previous year. Candice Womer, senior communications specialist at ACE, said the company has seen a sharp increase in energy-related cons since last October, and customers are urged to be on the lookout for imposters, especially over the phone.

“Atlantic City Electric reminds customers to always be on alert for potential scams targeting energy customers,” the utility notes.
