DO NOT give them any info as this is a phishing scam, plain and simple. The caller identifies him/herself as a representative of Verity Energy USA, and then asks if you noticed the stuffer in your last PPL bill offering a KWH/hr rate reduction. They then try to get your account info. I responded that I was at work and could not review my bill at that time, and asked that they call back. I Googled them and no such company exists. If they DO exist, they are certainly not affiliated with PPL. When trying to call them back, you get a canned recording every time about reaching the "Department of Energy Procurement." There is no mention of Verity or PPL in the message, believe it or not. (They must use several company names for this scam.) You are then prompted to enter an extension. All entries lead to your call being cut off immediately UNLESS you decide to talk with sales. (ext. 3) A sales rep then comes on trying to pitch the same scam.
Keep getting calls from this number. They say hello on my answering maching & nothing else. I hope I will be home the next time they call so I can ask them to remove my number!!!
This is an electric provider that says they can save PP&L customers in Pennsylvania money on their electric bill. I'm not sure if they are on the level or not. They gave me www.lowcostpower, which is registered to Verde Energy.
Received a call from a man identifying himself as a representative of Verty Energy. He asked if he could speak with the individual that pays the electric bill in the household. I responded that that person was me. He asked me if I had received the notice in my last bill offering a KWH/hr rate reduction which could save me money. I immediately ended the call. I called the number back two times and a recorded message played...you have reached the Department of Energy Procurement. It further prompted me to press 1, 2 or 3 for difference departments. I Googled the phone number to find out that this is a scam and no such company exists.
CALLER KEEPS ON CALLING ME AND WON'T LEAVE A MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE. I HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY GETTING TO THE PHONE AS I HAVE ONCE AGAIN JUST RETURNED FROM BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A LIFE THREATENING INFECTION IN MY BLOOD. THIS CALLER IS REALLY GETTING MY UPSET AS IT IS VERY HARD AND STRENUOUS FOR ME TO TRY TO GET TO THE PHONE IN TIME TO TRY TO TALK TO SOMEONE IN PERSON---if they are even there....PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME AS I JUST CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS OVER AND OVER EXCH DAY. OTHER REPORTS SAY TRHAT THE CALL IS FROM "Verity Energy USA" AND I CAN'T VERIFY THAT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD CALLER ID--I spend the $0.75 to see who just called my home. I ONLY DO THIS WHEN I AM REALLY IN PAIN AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET CLEAR ACROSS MY HOME TO THE ANSWERING MACHINE......
