800-334-7661

collection department of ComEd, Commonwealth Edison.

Now that I saw this was from ComEd, I realized it's not only from the collection department. They called me when my service was restored.

I got a call from this number with an automated message claiming to be PECO and they were unable to read my meter, then gave me a number to call to get an engineer, I did'nt get time to take the number down as they had called before 8am and woke me!

I got a call yesterday at 8:02 am and again today at 5:02 pm. I let both calls go to voicemail. They left an automated message claiming to be PICO or PECO (sounds like "pee-ko") and said that they couldn't read my meter. I don't have a meter to read nor do I even have an current account for energy/gas in my name so I think this is a scam. I wont be calling them back.

This was Com-ed calling to notify of power being off 10/13 for repairs.

ComEd calling to invite me to join a text message power out status system - considering how often we lose power here, this is one call I'm happy to get.

I got a call from this number for a Bobby Jenkins or something. Not me. I'm a girl. I keep getting calls from them. the last time i got a phone call from them it was Aug 3. I got three todayat 8:08am CST, 4:03pm CST, and 6:33pm CST. They told me a retrieval code that I should call back and enter before the 24th. I don't own a house or anything to have a gas meter read or anything. I keep letting the calls go to voicemail. I haven't answered a single phone call from them since they started calling.

Comed - saying because of weather they won't be able to come and read the meter.

ComEd calling to verify that power was back on; gave the option of reporting if it wasn't restored.

Call tonight from a gal with what sounded like a Philipino accent; said she had a promotional offer.  I asked her where she was calling from and she said Florida.  I said, "you're in Florida right now?" and she hung up.  Hmmmmmmm.

Got a call a few minutes ago... which was automated response saying that they didn't bill me correctly.  I didn't hear the initial couple of seconds, and the message did not allow me to listen to it again.  Can't wait to get my updated bill and pay more to ComEd.  /s

This is a scam. They called stating that the electricity meter wasn't working and service wud b disconnected if no payment was made with a pre-paid credit card. They also gave a 619-488-3659 # to call back with the info. They called on a Saturday afternoon. It's a scam! Beware!! 5/4/13

800-344-7661 is LEGIT.

Our power went out over night, I reported it via text, got a Voice mail (to the cell I texted from) from this number later letting me know it was restored, but there may be more outages while they do more repairs.

So unless someone was faking the CID for others, it is legit. Always call back to a known good number that you verify, rather than a number that was given to you, just to be sure.

The 800-334-7661 telephone number is a legitimate one used by ComEd customer service BUT pre-paid card scammers are able to have this telephone number appear on your caller ID instead of the cell phone or Voip phone from which they are calling.  ComEd customer service will NEVER direct you to buy a pre-paid cash card (Green Dot or otherwise) and to call them back (at a different number) to provide them the card number on the back of the card.  This is equivalent to giving someone cash in an envelope and your monies on the card will be gone in a matter of seconds. Report such attempts to defraud you to your state's Attorney General's Office who have the authority and subpoena power to identify the scam caller.  Some of the call back telephone numbers reported to have been used by scammers are 202-506-8335: 619-488-3659: 630-780-4697; 630-780-6247; 619-488-3659 and 801-738-5052.

202-506-8335.  Scam phone number for sure

800-334-7661 is ComEd auto message stating service would be interrupted today due to emergency repairs.

i got a call from "comed" stating that my meter was broken and i needed to go buy a GREEN DOT MONEY PACK at a local walmart or cvs pharmacy. they said that my meter was overmeasuring the kilowatts and my bill was going to be more than $600. they said in order to avoi this i had to depoist money in the green dot money pack so the technitian would come and replace the meter. they said that the overwhelming amout of energy used blocked the account and i had to deposit money call a number to verify the payment and everything would be refunded. and im sitting here asking myself, "this is commed and they cant accees my account? why do i have to pay and get someone to come to my house and change the meter so commed could open my account" so i was somewhat conviced, but not 100%, so i called commed to double check that something was wrong becaue i far as i know no company charges you to replace thier meteres or cant acces your account. and sure enogh, once i reached a person i told them what happend and they said that i just avoided getting scammed. they advised me to go to the police and make a report. bewere people be smart if something doesnt seem right it usually isnt. the number they originally called was this one 1-800-334-7661, told me when i was done depositing money in the green dot money pack to call this number so they could get the problem fixed. 1-414-446-2189. beware of these numbers people

Automated voice message that says they are PECO (which is an Exelon company just like ComEd which is Chicago based).  I just let it go to voicemail. I just moved into an apartment about a month ago and don't have an individual meter. Plus my 1st electric bill isn't due until 11/14/13. I know the apartment buildings would have meters. But PECO would deal with the property manager for readings, not call individual tenants.  PECO closes for normal customer service at 5pm EST. So I called the 800 number on my phone which ended up being customer service number for ComEd.  I explained the situation to the woman on the phone who did look up my name and phone number which lead her to my address. She said that sometimes these calls go out if there are estimates being done for service. But she said that my buildings are actually set up for service and couldn't explain why I would be getting calls. Her suggestion was to just call PECO during their business hours to have me removed from whatever is triggering an automated call to my phone as it is probably just a system error.

The same thing happend to my mother in law only this time they clame to be from Peco energy but they used the same number they gave u and the same story but by the time I did the research about the phone number she already have pay the guy $300, sucks but she knew the truth. the next day they call back saying that they return the money through money gram but it would not be ready until next day and they need it another immediate payment of $250 jajaja my mother in law flip out and tell the guy in pretty  words some behind references and he hang up and never call back!

This number has called nine times in the last three hours, lets it ring 3 times and hangs up. Im an in Chicago and we are in the middle of crippling, dangerous sub zero temps and snow. The power did go out yesterday morning (for 4 hours, my apt. got down to 48 degrees when it went back on).  If this is ComEd calling about something legit it would be nice if they left messages, if it's just to say "is your power on" or to let us know it might be off as they fix things...whatever. Many people are not only stranded at work (highways are closed, schools are closed) but if it's something with the power it's time to go to a hotel. If they just want to follow up, how tough is that to say? I'm expecting too many calls right now to tie up my phone, but they're managing by calling me.  I owe them no money.
