Dear Editor: Public Service Electric and Gas Company, New Jersey’s largest electric and gas delivery utility, with thousands of employees at work in neighborhoods across the state, is concerned about reports of strangers gaining access to homes in its service territory by posing as PSE&G employees. In a recent incident in Hamilton Township, a man who claimed he was a PSE&G meter reader entered the home of an elderly township resident and robbed him of cash and other possessions. Because all PSE&G employees are required to wear photo identification badges while on the job, the utility advised that unless you know the PSE&G person at the door, you should always ask to see a photo identification badge before allowing entry into your home. John E. Anderson, PSE&G’s vice president-customer operations, believes imposters use the utility’s name because PSE&G has been part of New Jersey for close to a century and that workers are a trusted presence in neighborhoods around the state. He said, “Unfortunately, some parties are taking advantage of this trust by using the company name to prey on unsuspecting citizens.” If someone at your door claims to be a PSE&G employee, always ask to see photo identification. If the person does not have a photo ID badge or if you are still uncertain, call the police. PSE&G
