As noted, this is a SCAM from someone saying they are DP&L (dayton power and light). They tell you that you owe money and offer to take a payment through a credit card (which you generously provide) and they will even take your bank account information! Oh goody!
I logged onto my account after the call and noticed that my payment isn't even due for another 10 days and there is no past balance due.
I have filed a report with the Ohio Attorney General's office, which you can do online (google it) and suggest that you do the same if you want to stomp these scumbags out. No telling how much they have stolen from senior citizens and people who are just trying to keep their power on who don't know they don't owe money.
We have received 2 calls from this number claiming to be DP&L Energy and asking for the accounts receivable dept. When we told them this is a residence they hung up. The second time the person apologized for the call.
I have received 4 calls over the last week from this number, and I finally answered today. There was just hold music with an automated voice that just said "Please continue to hold" every 10 seconds. After about a minute of holding, there was a click like someone was trying to come onto the line, but no one ever did.
After findiing this thread, it definitely seems suspicious. At the very least, it's annoying.
