I received a call from that number. They left a message saying they needed to talk to us about our Duke Energy bill. I knew there shouldn't be an issue with our Duke bill but I called the number that was left on the message. It was a sales pitch for Future Now Energy.
This person keeps calling about a natural gas bil...There has never been natural gas on the property this individual is calling about. I called back busy at first then just rings.
Picked up this time - they are one of those energy resellers
We don't pay our energy (apartment).
Told her in a not so nice way - to stop $#$% calling.
I knew this caller was a scammer since she said she was from the National Grid which I know is a generic term. Besides my building does not even have metered gas/electricity so when she told me it was about my account, I knew it was a scam artist.
Anyway, to play along with her. She told me it was about problems with my gas bill. I thanked her profusely and said she called at a great time. I had just eaten some burritos for lunch and had lots of excess gas. Then she said "No sir, it's about your gas bill". I said "Ma'am, don't worry about the bill as I understand that if I had excess gas from eating burritos that I should be charged. Besides my roommates won't even talk to me anymore." She kept on insisting that she wanted to talk about a gas bill and I kept on repeating that I had burritos for lunch. I then offered to put the receiver next to my butt if she wanted proof of my excess gas. She then hung up. Don't think she'll call again
