I got 1 call this morning at 8:38am, 1 call at 9:09am, then another call at 6:02pm, no messages. I have no idea who it is as they didn't leave a message. No legit company make weird calls like this lol.
I called Con Ed and the rep said it didn't sound legitimate. She said if there's a balance Con Ed will call the customer with an automated message asking the customer to call Con Ed's 800 number directly. She said that Con Ed doesn't receive those payments that these companies are trying to collect. I'm very happy I didn't disclose my personal information to these people. They called numerous times within a few days. It was ridiculous. I also was tipped off that something was going on because the woman kept saying I had to pay the full balance immediately whereas Con Ed allowed me to make payment arrangements.
this is truly a scam, be careful, they represent themselves as conedison, tell you to purchase instant money card and get $$ from you. I was warned and didn't loose my money! BE CAREFUL!!!
Three people kept relentlessly asking for my social and saying they were from Con Ed. I looked up the Con Ed number and even their automated menu sounded way different and more official than this number. My account is paid off in full and I called this number back to tell the lady they are scamming me and to leave me alone even though she kept insisting they are the real deal.
They are Con Ed in fact. I spoke with the guy and after verifying info I made my payment. It was apply to my Con Ed account. So, please, stop misleading people! Legimate Con Ed
