The number is spoofed. An app was used to mask the real number calling and this one was used instead. I didn't answer the call, but it couldn't have been a real call from Dominion. We don't subscribe to Dominion for gas service.
I received a call from this number. Caller id: HUI, JOSEPH. A recorded male voice said that my Dominion account is eligible for a credit. The voice instructed me to press 1 if I wanted the credit. I couldn't resist and pressed 1, after which I was disconnected. I called Dominion gas company and asked if I had a credit. A rep said I did, but could not explain much else.
I received a call from 1-440-257-2810 claiming that I was eligible for a credit on my Dominion gas bill and to press 1. I pressed one assuming I would get further information and I was disconnected. I calle Dominion and they told me that the call was not from them and that it could be a different supplier trying to get me to switch even though the caller ID or the recorded message did not identify who it was from. I looked up the number on the internet and it is registered to these three names-
W JOSEPH HUI 5580 ANACONDA AVE MENTOR 44060 OH
W MARIAN HUI 5580 ANACONDA AVE MENTOR 44060 OH
W WAI HUI 5580 ANACONDA AVE MENTOR 44060 OH
I called the number and I got a recorded message that the number had been changed to 1-440-266-9034 which is also a landline out of Mentor.When I called that number I recieved a message that the phone number was changed to an unknown number.

Like all the above, recorded voice saying I was entitled to a credit on my Dominion/East Ohio gas bill. I pressed 1 because I couldn't wait to call the scammers out on this because we live in a rural area and have propane! We don't have an account with Dominion or any other gas company. Unfortunately, when I pressed 1 the line disconnected. I have now blocked the number, but everyone be aware this is clearly a scam of some kind.
