Barcode Scam Alert: PG&E Power Threat

A new scam’s hitting the Central Coast—fake PG&E calls threatening power cuts unless you pay instantly via QR codes or apps like Venmo. PG&E confirms they NEVER ask for payments this way. Over 150 cases reported this year, with Monterey and Santa Cruz counties leading the charge. If you get one, hang up and verify bills through official PG&E channels. Report scams to police and PG&E—stay alert and protect your wallet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
