Type of a scam Utility

I was contacted by a lady claiming to be with Atmos Energy. She informed me that my gas meter at my Café was going to be turned off for nonpayment of my bill in the amount of $498.66. I told her that my payments were on automatic draft. She then informed my that Atmos had

stopped doing automatic drafts and I should have received 2 notices prior to this cut off and I informed her that I had not received any notices.

I told her I would call Atmos and pay my bill and she then told me that I could not pay it over the phone with my bank card because I was already set up for termination of nonpayment. She said I would have to go to the Dollar Store in my City and get a " Electric/Gas Green Dot Money Pak" card in the amount of $595.00 to pay the amount of my bill and a $100.00 fee for reconnect, but since it was my first cut off, she would apply the $100.00 back toward my bill. She gave me a meter tag #WRK000xxxxxx and a case #TC8xxxxx-xx that I needed to put on the forms when I got the card. She told me if I had trouble filling out the form for me to call her back and she would help me fill it out. She also said that it had a scratch off on the card that I would need to call her back at this number, (806)416-0248 ext#117, her name was Dana Murphy and I needed to give her the number on the card. She said I needed to get this card within an hour and she would send her field men a notice to wait until she heard back from me with the number on the card. I hung up and immediately called Atmos Energy and ask about this call and if they were coming to cut off my meter. I was informed that my balance was $0.00 and that I was set up for automatic drafts and my account was current. They said it was a scam and thanked me for letting me know about this. About an hour later I received a call and a man informing me he was the field man and wanted to know if I had gotten the card because he was on his way to cut off my gas. I told him I talked to the real Atmos Energy and my bill was current and they had no one scheduled to come cut off my gas. I told him that he was a scam, then he got real hateful with me and told me he wasn’t a scam and he would be at my business to cut me off within the next 30 minutes. I told him to bring it on and needless to say, no one ever showed up.
