If you get a call about your electric supply and lowering your bill, you're going to listen.However, a News 8 viewer was concerned after getting this call.The viewer wrote, 'Receiving phone call messages from Met-Ed . They are updating their records, asking us to return calls regarding our 'supply portion account.' Ref. #268 to receive a reimbursement credit.'News 8 On Your Side reached out to Met-Ed.
He added that he's heard of cases in which agents for third-party suppliers claim to be from the utility or representing the utility. They shouldn't do that.If a company claims to be a utility – like PPL or Met-Ed – and it's not, you should report it to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.Also, remember that Met-Ed and PPL don't own power plants. They just deliver the power to you.These third-party suppliers are trying to get you to switch to them.
