PLEASE BE AWARE:

We have received phone calls from two members stating they were called by a person who explained that SREC and PSE&G have merged and they needed to pay for a new meter. The caller left a toll-free phone number. This is a scam! We have not merged with another company and we would not call you and tell you that you must pay for a meter. Always feel free to contact us if you ever question a call about SREC or your electric service. Thank you.

Spotting A Scam - Don't fall victim - Here are a few common scammer tactics: 1.) Pretend to be from SREC (They may spoof our phone number and your caller ID may show our name) 2.) Demand immediate payment (DO NOT pay over the phone, even if they say it's required to avoid immediate disconnection! 3.) Threaten to shut off power (We will NEVER generate urgent calls like these threatening disconnection). Suspect a scammer? Here's what to do. 1.) Hang up the phone. 2.) Call 973-875-5101 to report it to SREC. 3.) Alert friends, family, and neighbors to raise awareness!
