Our business received a call from 1-866-478-8845 with a recording claiming to be Huntsville Utilities. The recording said our power would be turned off in 30 minutes because of non payment and to call 1-800-604-9002. I hung up and called the real Huntsville Utilities and provided them with this information. They were aware of these scam calls and had the same 1-800 number flagged as scam. When you call the number from the recording, it sounds like the Huntsville Utilities recording but then when you request an operator you are talking to someone with an accent in room full of people. Not sure if they were trying to get money, because they hung up on me when I questioned who they were.
