It has come to the Township's attention that there are individuals in the Monroe/Pike County area reportedly going door to door identifying themselves as Met-Ed and asking to see the customers electric bill. In one particular case the customers were elderly and the perpetrators claimed they were checking to see if they were receiving all the discounts seniors are entitled to. The Township cannot say if they requested entry for sure or what their scheme is. It may or may not be limited to the Monroe/Pike County Area. Residents please be reminded of the following:
Met-Ed does not go door to door
Met-Ed does not ask to go into a house (unless their is an inside meter)
Met-Ed employees and contractors wear a photo ID badge - ask to see it
Met-Ed vehicles are clearly marked
