I got a scam call from this number involving a person claiming to be with the power company and demanding immediate payment. My bill is paid automatically and I knew this to be a scam.

That has been a serious problem for a lot of utility companies. Here in Michigan people have been getting phone call from scam artists claiming to be Lansing Board Of Water & Light, Consumers Energy, & Detroit Edison telling people that if they did not a payment over the phone immediately that their utility services would be shut off. I think people that seem to think it is okay to scam folks for money should be tied to a telephone pole and be publicly flogged or spanked and then hauled to a super max prison.
We got a call at work stating they would shut off our power in the office within 30 minutes because we had not paid the electric bill in 2 months. The caller ID showed Manhattan, KS and we are in S.W. Florida. We knew this was a scam! We got the information, called the power company (the real one) and were told to report it to the Federal Trade Commission (877-382-4357). DO NOT LET THESE GUYS GET AWAY WITH THIS!
