Power Company Scam

Victim Location 31206

Type of a scam Utility

I received a call from a women claiming to be from Georgia Power. She stated we were scheduled for disconnect today and a tech was 30 minutes away. She said that they didn’t show our payments for the last three months. I gave her the check numbers, dates and amounts of all three payments. She proceeded to tell me that they had to investigate where the payments had gone and that I would have to make a one time payment over the phone in order to stop the disconnect on our account. She said once the investigation was done, that they would credit our bill within the next 6 months. I told her she was full of crap and hung up on her. I immediately called Ga Power and the automated line confirmed that the account was current and nothing was due.
