Atlantic City Electric Continues Efforts to Raise Awareness of Customer Scams

During National Consumer Protection Week

National Consumer Protection Week brings attention to common scamming practices and educates customers on how they can fight back and protect

themselves

MAYS LANDING, N.J.

(March 3, 2020) – Atlantic City Electric this week joins Utilities United Against Scams (UUAS) to recognize National Consumer Protection Week and to educate customers on how they can guard against falling victim to imposter utility scams.

As a member of UUAS—a consortium of 146 U.S. and Canadian electric, natural gas and water companies and their respective trade associations—Atlantic City Electric and its sister Exelon companies, Delmarva Power, BGE, ComEd, PECO and Pepco, work across the industry with regulators, law enforcement, and telecommunications partners to stop scams targeting customers.

“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers, communities and our employees, and   we are committed to equipping our customers with the information and resources they need to protect themselves from scammers,” said Derrick Dickens, senior vice president of Customer Operations and Chief Customer Officer for Pepco Holdings, which includes Atlantic City Electric. “National Consumer Protection Week provides us with an important opportunity to continue these efforts and work with our partner organizations through Utilities United Against Scams to broaden our awareness efforts to combat the utility scamming that continues to target our customers.”

UUAS and its member companies continue to create awareness of common and new scam tactics and, to date, have helped to cease operations of more than 6,000 toll-free numbers used against utility customers by scammers.

When scams occur, a customer typically receives an unsolicited phone call from an individual, who falsely claims to be a company representative. The scammer often warns that the customer’s service will be terminated if they fail to make a payment – usually within a short timeframe through a prepaid debit card or other direct payment method.

Scammers have even duplicated the telephone systems of some companies, so when customers call the number provided by the scammer, it sounds like a legitimate business. Some scammers also use caller ID “spoofing” to replicate a company’s phone number.

Throughout the year, Atlantic City Electric takes steps to raise awareness among its customers, including posting tips to social media, adding alerts on the

AtlanticCityElectic.com homepage

, issuing news releases, and participating annually in

Utilities United Against Scams Day

in November. Any customer who believes he or she has been the target of a scam is urged to contact their local police and call Atlantic City Electric immediately at 800-642-3780 to report the situation.

Signs of Potential Scam Activity:

The scammer often becomes angry and tells a customer his or her account is past due and service will be shut off if a large payment isn’t made – usually within less than an hour.

The scammer instructs the customer to purchase a prepaid debit or credit card – widely available at most retail stores – then call him or her back to make a payment.

The scammer asks the customer for the prepaid card’s receipt number and PIN number, which grants instant access to the funds loaded to the card.

The scammers may disguise themselves as the utility by sending spam emails with logos, trademarks, website links, and wording to lure the customer into making a false payment or providing personal information.

How Customers Can Protect Themselves:

Atlantic City Electric representatives will never ask or require a customer with a past due balance to purchase a prepaid debit card to avoid disconnection.

Customers can make payments online, by phone, automatic bank withdrawal, mail, or in person.

Customers with a past due balance will receive multiple shut off notifications – never a single notification one hour before disconnection.

If a customer ever questions the legitimacy of the call, hang up and call Atlantic City Electric at 800-642-3780.

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 company representative or requesting you to send money to another person or entity other than Atlantic City Electric.

Always ask to see a company photo ID

before allowing any Atlantic City Electric worker into your home or business.

Never make a payment for services to anyone coming to your door.

South Jersey Transportation Authority READI Field Trip

An osprey builds a nest on a platform constructed by the SJTA\’s Roadway Environmental Advancement Initiative (READI) team.

SJTA\’s READI to Present at 31st Annual Pinelands Short Course

Daylong program co-sponsored by Stockton University and NJ Pinelands Commission will feature field trip directed by SJTA

HAMMONTON, NJ – 02-24-20 – The

South Jersey Transportation Authority

is proud to announce its Roadway Environmental Advancement Initiative (READI) will conduct a field trip at the

31st

Annual Pinelands Short Course

co-sponsored by

Stockton University

and the

NJ Pinelands Commission

, Saturday, March 14, 2020.

The field trip is designed to show how the

Atlantic City Expressway

works to co-exist with wildlife and the land it occupies, which includes over 1,200 acres along its 44-mile span, much of which is in the pinelands of South Jersey.

The field trip is being run in coordination with the

New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Division

and will examine animal and wildlife fencing, wildlife crossings and a tour of the SJTA\’s Pinelands Interpretive Center at the Expressway\’s

Farley Plaza Service

area, where participants will learn about the pinelands and READI. The trip\’s activities will also feature a visit to see native flower plantings along the Expressway, including a hummingbird garden.

The SJTA launched READI several years ago when the Expressway Operations Department began reintroducing perennial and native wildflowers across 35 acres of the Expressway\’s right-of-way. The wildflowers attract and support important pollinators like bees and butterflies that are suffering from habitat loss and pesticide use. The goal is to reverse the population decline of these crucial pollinators.

The initiative evolved further when the Expressway installed a series of bat boxes or bat houses along the highway\’s right-of-way in 2017. While bats play a vital role in the ecology of local environments, they face numerous threats including the loss of habitat. The bat houses provide shelter and safety from predators.

The efforts of READI go beyond only supporting bats; it has installed structures for a variety of species including the American Kestrel, blue birds, screech owls and nesting platforms for ospreys near Atlantic City. The initiative has created animal crossings that allow wildlife to travel underneath the Expressway as they naturally migrate between different areas. The crossings will be examined during the field trip.

READI also has an educational component that involves presenting programs at local schools to support their environmental curriculums. Every year around Arbor Day, the Expressway Operations Department is invited to local elementary and middle schools to plant a tree(s) and present assemblies that impress on students the importance of practicing good environmental stewardship. The SJTA has visited more than 26 schools since 2011 and planted as many as 35 trees in a variety of species during the past four years. These programs invite student participation in the planting of a native tree(s) at each school visited.

September 20 – 23, 2020, the SJTA is joining the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife to co-host the

Northeastern Transportation and Wildlife Conference

in Atlantic City as READI expands its reach and work.

Brandon Perez & David Sult Sentenced for Setting Homeless Man on Fire

MAYS LANDING – Two men were sentenced on Feb. 28, 2020 before Judge Waldman to New Jersey state prison after pleading guilty in November to aggravated assault for setting a man on fire in March, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner announced.

Brandon Perez, (right) 23, of Hammonton and David Sult,  (left) 24, of Mays Landing, were both sentenced to  5 years in New Jersey State Prison subject to the No Early Release Act.

In November both men pleaded guilty to second degree aggravated assault in exchange for five years New Jersey State Prison subject to the No Early Release Act (85% period of parole ineligibility and three years parole supervision upon release).

On the evening of March 15, 2019, Brandon Perez and David Sult were at Sult’s residence in Mays Landing hanging out with a group of other men. Raymond Mullen was asleep on a couch when Perez and Sult decided to play a “prank” on him. Perez sprayed lighter fluid on the back of Raymond’s clothing. Perez ignited it. Raymond suffered severe burns to his back.  The men claimed Raymond had been burned accidentally by an electronic smoking device but the investigation revealed the fire had been set intentionally.

Township of Hamilton Police Det. Lawrence Fernan investigated the incident and ACPO Det. Danielle Kratky assisted with the prosecution. Assistant Prosecutor Chris D’Esposito represents the state in the matter.

Spend a Night inside Lucy The Elephant

AN ELEPHANT-SIZED HOME ALONG THE JERSEY SHORE NOW LISTED ON AIRBNB

Guests will be transported back in time with a stay inside Lucy the Elephant, one of the last standing pieces of roadside Americana

Margate, New Jersey (February 27, 2020) — Pack your trunk (err, bags)! Three lucky Airbnb guests and their friends will have the chance to stay inside

Lucy the Elephant

, one of the first and only National Historic Landmarks now on Airbnb. A tribute to the golden age of roadside Americana, Lucy was built in 1881 and is older than the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

image courtesy of Wikipedia

Starting on March 5, longtime Lucy fans — or anyone who has had the Jersey Shore on their travel bucket list — can book a stay inside Lucy’s storied walls, which will take place on March 17, 18 or 19. Each of the three one-night overnight stays is priced at $138, to honor the number of years Lucy has served as a New Jersey Shore icon.

Standing a regal six stories high, Lucy calls Margate, New Jersey, home — a tight-knit community that has proven its resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and that couldn’t be prouder of its unofficial ‘mascot.’ Lucy hosted her first stay in 1902 and over the years, she’s been a tavern and even hosted former United States President Woodrow Wilson.

During the Airbnb stay — which is modeled after what Lucy’s interior would have looked like when she was briefly a summer vacation home in the early 20th century — guests will take a journey through her fascinating history. They will also have the chance to experience the best of what the Jersey Shore has to offer, from delicious meals by top local chefs to scenic ocean views. And Lucy’s human counterpart,

Richard Helfant

, Executive Director of the

Save Lucy Committee

— the organization that restored and preserved Lucy for the past 50 years — will be on hand to share his memories of the majestic structure and offer local tips.

“I’ve been by Lucy’s side for 50 years, and she’s been a part of so many unique moments — together we’ve hosted weddings and now we are hosting on Airbnb — I can’t wait to show guests what Lucy is all about,” says Helfant.

To celebrate this historic stay, Airbnb will make a donation to the Save Lucy Committee, supporting efforts to keep Lucy the Elephant standing “Jersey strong” so new generations can visit for years to come.

If you want to stay inside a piece of history that continues to invigorate the Jersey Shore, you can request to book* this experience. Reservations open March 5 at 12:00 p.m. EST on

Unions Endorse Brigid Callahan Harrison

[February 28, 2020 – Longport, New Jersey] – Last night before a packed house at  Teamsters Local 331, labor unions across Atlantic County including – AFT NJ, UNITE-HERE 54, Painters District Council 711, Ironworkers Local 399, South Jersey Building and Construction Trades Council, IATSE 917, UAW, SMWIA State Council, NALC 903, Teamsters Local 331, IBEW 351, Southern New Jersey Building

Trades Council, Atlantic/Cape May Central Labor Council, UFCW Local 360, BAC New Jersey & Area District Council,  IFPTE Atlantic Council and Local 195, UA 322, IBEW 827 – united to rally their support for Brigid Callahan Harrison, Democratic candidate for the second congressional district.

Harrison, a 25-year member of American Federation of Teachers Local 1904, issued her declaration of policy principles regarding support of working families and job creation.  The following is a statement from Harrison and lists the core priorities she plans to bring to Washington after securing the party nomination and a November victory against turncoat Jeff Van Drew:

“I am inspired by the many working families who attended last night’s rally and so thankful for the great support of our local unions.  I believe that together we are creating a true movement that not only demands the removal of Donald Trump’s best buddy Jeff Van Drew, but replaces him with a person who understands that the hopes for a strong future begins with a clear vision for how our community can thrive and improve the lives of working men and women, and their children here in South Jersey.  In the short time since Van Drew has switched, he already has voted against organized labor twice.”

•    I will fight against the “right to work” legislation and work to guarantee the right to unionize and bargain collectively, including in the “gig economy” sector. I will fight for gig workers to receive full employee benefits, create portable benefits that stay with workers when they switch jobs, and help displaced workers to build the next phase of their careers.

•    I will work to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and index the minimum wage to the Consumer Price Index so that as the price for goods and services increases, so do wages.

•    I will support requiring employers to provide employees 12 weeks of paid family leave for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for a sick family member. I will fight for all employees to receive 7 days of paid sick leave every year.

•    I will support the reinstatement of the Obama administration’s overtime rule, making more workers eligible for overtime.

•    I will sponsor legislation to ensure that the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, requiring the payment of prevailing wages on federally financed or assisted construction projects, applies to all federally supported infrastructure and construction projects, including roads, bridges, and rail, energy, and clean water projects, and school construction projects, that receive federal assistance. The law assures local contractors the opportunity to compete for government projects, ensures that federal construction activity does not undercut community wage standards, and protects the government from shoddy construction performed by under-skilled and underpaid employees.

•    I will advocate for the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions legislation, which creates a private loan program so that underfunded union pension plans can be set on a path to solvency without asking for additional sacrifice from active and retired workers.

•    I will work to ensure that all workers who pay into Social Security, including public-sector employees, receive their full benefits.

•    I will work to enact the Fair Playing Field Act of 2015 and the Payroll Fraud Prevention Act of 2015, which would close loopholes that enable businesses to misclassify employees as “independent contractors,” denying them rights and protection and undercutting businesses that properly categorize employees.
