Type of a scam Utility
Yesterday was the second time a man has called acting like he is with AEP and is going to turn off our electric unless we pay him. My boss almost fell for it the first time. She brought me the phone all panicky. When I took the phone from her I asked what location he was calling about. He answered with our mailing address, which is a UPS store… lol So I said, go ahead, we are not even located at that site. The same guy called yesterday and tried the same scam, stating the same address, which is not our location. I hope other people realize that Utilities don’t call demanding money or they are turning of the power right that second. It is always best if you receive a phone call that you are unsure of to tell the caller that you will call that provider yourself. That way you don’t lose in the end.

A guy called my place of business saying that the electric service would be turned off today if we did not pay our bill. I said "AEP?" and he said "yes". I told him I would call him back. He gave me a phone number of 1-844-548-8601.
