Why does this charge appear?

Con Edison uses the truncated billing descriptor "CON EDISON*" on bank statements because their payment processing system follows a common utility billing convention where the asterisk separates the company identifier from any additional account or transaction reference data that may follow it. As one of the largest electric utilities in the country, Con Edison processes millions of monthly payments across New York City and Westchester, and their merchant descriptor is registered with payment networks in this abbreviated format to ensure consistent identification across different banking platforms. If you see "CON EDISON*" on your statement alongside a charge around $130, it almost certainly reflects your monthly New York electric bill rather than any unauthorized transaction.
