I was called saying it was SDG&E and that they were coming to my home today to remove my solar panels because my payments had not been made on time. That if I paid $450.00 over the phone my panels would not be removed. Their phone number was 619-842-7206 and they answered saying it was SDG&E. When I let them know I checked my online account and my payments where up to date they said one was pending still. When I finally told them I believed they were scammers they said very inappropriate things to me and hung up on me. I called three times and was cussed out all three times, they all spoke spanish.

Our company got a phone call from these so called SDGE worker. He stated that we had an amount due and because we hadn’t payed their workers were going to head over and shut down our electricity. Its when he gave me a 1800 number to call for customer services. We opened out online account with SDGE and there was no due amount. Called the number he gave me and I spoke to another person and said they were only going to be accepting cash because with a credit card there was going to be a long process. It’s when we thought it sounded a little shady. Called the number that was on the SDGE website and confirmed that no such order had been given and that the 1800 number was definitely not theirs.
