BGE Warns Customers About Utility Scammers During COVID-19 

With Maryland and the world experiencing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, BGE is reminding customers to always be on alert for potential scams targeting utility customers.  BGE has seen an increase in scam reports over the past week with scammers attempting to use this health crisis to trick utility customers. Scammers are offering cash or credit incentives from BGE in order to obtain a customer’s personal or financial information. 

Don't Get Scammed: Customers can avoid being scammed by taking a few precautions: 

• Never provide your social security number or personal information to anyone initiating contact with you claiming to be a utility representative or requesting you to send money to another person or entity other than your local utility providers. 

• Always ask to see a company photo ID before allowing any utility worker into your home or business. 

• Do not give payment in any form- cash, check, or credit- to anyone coming to your door.  

Any customer who believes he or she has been a target of a scam is urged to contact 911 and call BGE immediately at 800-685-0123 to report the situation.

Stress is the body’s physical, mental, or emotional response to stimuli. 

Stress is a normal part of life that could be a response to changes in one’s life or environment.  Some short term stress can be life-saving (i.e. getting out of a danger), but many of us live in a near constant state of stress.  Unlike short term stress which can be protective, constant or chronic stress can be harmful.  Research has linked chronic stress with high blood pressure, clogged arteries, obesity, poor sleep, and brain changes linked to anxiety, depression, and addiction.

In an effort to encourage a healthy community, the Loch Raven Improvement Association will be starting a “Stress Less” Challenge.  Participants who engage in 15+ minutes of stress lowering activities (laughing, meditating, exercise, etc.), 4+ days per week for 3+ weeks will be entered to win a prize pack! 

If you are interested in participating or would like more details, please text Dena at 443-267-8380.

Always lock your vehicle and remove valuables.  Always monitor your property, and your neighbor's property.  If you observe suspicious or illegal activity in any part of our neighborhood, call 911 immediately.
