Beware--just got a whopper fraudelent call from Duke Energy [View all]

Though, it wasn't the real Duke Energy. All the information has been relayed to Duke and they are going to submit the info to law enforcement.

The fraud begins with a message on your recorder claiming that you're late on three months payment and someone is coming to the house to disconnect your power. The number to call back is 1-800-709-7624.

My husband called and these are the notes from that conversation:

1) They answered, Duke Energy.

2) First person couldn't answer questions properly, specifically, he didn't know the correct total for the three months in arrears. So he referred my husband to the next level up: The Disconnection Manager. LOL!

Oh, sure, we can laugh about it now.

I did call Duke Energy and the person who helped us was wonderful. We really appreciate that.
