Received call to my cell phone, guy says he's calling from LADWP and that my service is going to be disconnected.That if I made a payment over the phone I could avoid disconnection. I don't have an account with dwp, and I noticed he was calling from a Utah area code. I called him on it, told him he was a fraud trying to steal from ppl. He then started cussing me out.

Received a call from this number after PG&E regular business hours. Guy over the phone said our electric service was about to be disconnected if we didn't make a payment right away. He said he was from the collection agency and once we made the payment they would credit our account.
THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!! He didn't even have the account owner's name and the amount we "owed" was wrong. Luckily for us the owner knew we were current.
I knew from the beginning this was a scam yet continued talking to him to see if he would contradict himself, but he was very polite even when it was obvious I wasn't going to make the payment he was asking for. He ended the call by saying it was just a courtesy call but he was sorry to say our electric service was going to be disconnected within 45 minutes... obviously nothing happened.
