Claimed to represent "Washington Gas" (of which I am a customer), offering a discount for 2 months to be applied to my bill. Had my name, phone number, and address, but wanted my account number. Called Washington Gas and they said there is a "Washington Gas Energy Services" company that is not the same and is using this as a marketing strategy to convert customers. I did not give my account number away, but it was suggested by Washington Gas that if I had they would have signed me up for their service and cancelled my account with Washington Gas.

Washington Gas Energy Services is an alternate supplier to Washington Gas. I use them. They have been calling me lately too from this number which just shows "Maryland" so I let it go to voicemail. Since they never leave a message....I figure if it's anything important they will leave a message or sent it per mail.
