BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Customers of both NYSEG and RG&E are being targeting with a new round of phone scams.
Both companies have recently received reports of customers having accepted calls from people claimING to be "consultants" of the companies. Customers are urged to never give out personal or account information to unsolicited callers. NYSEG and RG&E will never call customers for payment if the account is in good standing.
