Petaluma police are warning residents of a scam involving someone impersonating PG&E. The impersonator contacts homeowners to ask if the occupants have video surveillance cameras showing any footage of vandalism to PG&E equipment in that area. They then request to come to the person’s home to see the footage on-site. The impersonator does not supply valid PG&E identification and seems extremely insistent that they need to gain access to the camera surveillance system from within the home instead of having the footage furnished via a flash drive or uploaded to an authentic PG&E site. No criminal activity has occurred in relation to this yet. You can verify PG&E authenticity by calling Petaluma police or by going to PG&E’s scam webpage.
