PG&E: The Myth of the Friendly Neighbor
Let's get one thing straight: PG&E does not send employees door-to-door. Period. End of story. If someone shows up on your doorstep claiming to be from PG&E, chances are, they're about as genuine as a three-dollar bill.

These folks are likely scammers, looking to prey on unsuspecting Californians. They might promise you lower rates, free energy audits, or even threaten to disconnect your service. Don't fall for it!
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
