Duquesne Light Warns PIne-Richland Residents of Phone Scam

Have you gotten a phone call from Duquesne Light telling you that your service will be terminated that day if payment is not made immediately? 

Duquesne Light officials are warning Pine-Richland customers to be aware that such a call is a scam.

The callers are directing customers to purchase "pre-paid" type credit cards to pay off the alleged amount.

Duquesne Light does not call customers on the day of a scheduled termination for non-payment, nor does it ask customers to purchase these pre-paid type payment cards.

If a customer receives one of these calls, the company asks that they hang up and call Duquesne Light at 412-393-7100, as well as alerting Northern Regional Police Department, 724-625-3156.
