this number just called me claiming to be FPL a "Richard Johnson" telling me that we did not pay our 3 months power light bill. first they called from a NY number and then I told him what does NY have to do with Florida. we called FPL from their website number to varify and the operator told us it's a fraud number calling. but be careful somehow they manage to call from, the legit FPL number which is 305-442-8770 in the caller ID. we even asked this richard johnson to verify our account and he couldn't
Today we got a call from this number pretending to be FPL with same story as other comments. We were behind in payments and they will cut service in hrs. Of course, we laugh at them, because we have auto payment.
Be aware, the guys new we spoke Spanish. We live in South Florida
Got called claiming they are from FPL (Florida Power and Light) A so called Emanuel, THIS IS A SCAM they tell you that they have an order to cut the power unless if the pending balance is paid. They will tell you that you need to go get a money order or card in order to pay it. DO NOT.
This has been reported with the Business Bureau and the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.
IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU FILE A CLAIM!!!! http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
There is a case building agains these people, Since they tried to call me back and I told them that Ive reported them, they proceeded with threatening my life. By doing so they earned themselves a for my case to be expedited! (Smart move by them)
FPL already knows about this scam and will tell you so if you call them and report this as well.
Hopefully no more people fall for it, please be advised.
I got a call today from a "Luis Peña," from "Duke Energy", yeah right. The number to be called back was 718-304-0274. They were trying to get my elderly parents to pay $293.14 on their Duke Energy bill which was $0.00. My mom said she would have me call back. I called back and they wanted me to go to a CVS, Walgreens, etc to get a pre-paid Credit Card. I started to call them out on their game and they started to curse at me in Spanish. Then they hung up on me.
Lo escribo en espanol y espero que todo el que le alla pasado lo comente en el dia de ayer recibi una llamada de este telefono en la cual me dijeros que era una empresa contratada por la JEA EN SU SIGLA inofrmando que mi servicio de luz iba a ser cortado en dos horas por falta de acutalizacion la primera persona que lla dijo llamarse Manuel de jesus, luego llamo el supervisor con el nombre de Ruben Torres y por ultimo un tal scott Sanders, con el mismo cuento de la acutalizacion de los datos de la luz, que el gobierno de Estados Unidos habia mandado la acutalizacion por cuestiones de Impuestos. Hoy fui directamente a la JEA y esto es una vil estafa debemos tener mucho cuidad y denunciemos estos casos para evitar que le vaya a pasar a otras personas.
