Do NOT give this person money or any information! A man with a New Jersey or New York accent calls from the "disconnection department" claiming that you owe a certain amount or your power will be turned off in a matter of a couple hours or less. When I asked his business name and address he hung up. I have called the number back multiple times and he will never give me information about his company. Instead he hangs up. I have reported him to the Federal Trade Commission. I traced his number to O'fallon, Missouri. Do NOT give this person money!
