They said they were the Electric Company and That I was behind on my bill.That I Had to talk to an agent before they cut off my service.

Unfortunately there are evil people out there too lazy to get off their butts and earn a decent living!

They wanted my SS number to look up my account. He even knew my address. Needless to say, it was also a scam. The more I talked with him, the more deep he got into his lies. He said I had not paid my bills for the last 3 to 4 months. And, I knew I had paid my latest bill three weeks prior. The scary thing is he somewhat sounded legitimate. Don't fall for it folks.
