I received an automated call from 800-477-4747 stating my DTE service will be disconnected in 30 minutes, to avoid disconnection call 800-966-6740. Spoke with a Jay Nichols at that number, he informed me I needed to come to Taylor Michigan to make a payment or got to a Walgreens, Rite Aid or CVS and purchase a pre-paid money pak card. Once I have the card I was to call Jay Nichols back at 800-966-6740 ext.304. I called DTE & checked my account online, no disconnection or past-due on my account. The representative confirmed it was a scam.
Jay Nichols called me back from 313-497-1450, I hung up on him.

Robocalls stating they are from DTE, "the electric company" and your service will be disconnect in 30-45 minutes for non-payment. And, to call 844-244-2650. Call I.D. has spoofed number. I have received calls on personal cellphone as well as a work phone claiming to be utility company, two week ago they claimed they were Consumers Energy.
