They called me to let me know that my Ambit electricity was going to disconnected if not paid $300.00 immediately thru this form of payment. They stayed in the phone with me directing me what to do and where to get this particular type of card Money Pak..When the card purchased the card information given to them they told him to hold to make sure the account was updated. once the information given they hang up.I called back at the same number and then was told that the person was gone but he can assist me by retrieve the information, but it seems to be needing to pay another $500.00 dollars .This is when I realize it was a scam, confronted him and he hang up.

Please don’t fall in this scam.Do not go purchase a prepaid card, call your company instead.
