Scam Calls
Due to an increase in fraudulent
calls, Pasadena Water and Power
(PWP) wants to advise you to be
especially vigilant about scam
calls demanding payment for
your utility bill.
PWP will never call customers
asking them to make payment
over the phone. If you receive
one of these calls, be advised
that scammers are attempting
to solicit money or personal
information from you. They
may demand that customers
go to a nearby convenience
store, like Rite Aid or CVS, and
purchase gift cards in order to
make a payment.
It’s helpful to know the
legitimate ways that PWP will
contact you. If a utility bill is
delinquent, PWP will inform
the customer by mailing a notice
to the account holder address.
Two delinquency notifications
will be sent to a customer before
their electric or water service is
disconnected for non-payment.
Customers are always welcome
to call the PWP Customer
Service line at (626) 744-4005 to
make a payment. This is a secure
and valid way to access your
account and is not the same as a
representative calling customers
to demand immediate payment.
Here are some recent scam
attempts:
• An unidentified caller
is claiming to be a PWP
representative threatens to turn
off water or electric service
unless immediate payment is
made over the phone.
• A scammer is using spoofing
technology to make PWP’s
Customer Service number,
(626) 744-4005, appear as
their contact information or
calling from a toll free number
(866) 305-4992. Additional
