Fry HVAC received a call from 1-800-447-3333 on 2/26/20 at 10:47 a.m. and at 10:49 a.m. stating that they are from Toledo Edison and they will be turning off the power to 1909 Tremainsville Rd if we do not make a payment now over the phone right away and insisted on giving them our utility account number. Our office stated that they should have that information. The foreign person stated that we needed to call 800-556-6150 and give them our bank account number to stop disconnection right away. We called the number and it states 791 the number you dialed is not in service. After doing some investigation on line there is someone out there is spoofing, the Toledo Edison number and trying to collect money from people.

I received a phone call from a local number posing to be a contractor for Toledo Edison. Saying that my account was recently overcharged and they are offering a $50 credit and 30% discount and they needed my info in order to give me my credit on to my account. He was very rude and demanding wanting my info and when I told him that I did not have my info and Bill with me at the time and kept refusing to give it to him he eventually hung up.

I received a robo call stating that it was Toledo Edison and they were going to shut off my power in 30 minutes for non payment if I don’t call 800-473-5770 immediately. My account with Toledo Edison is current, so I went to Toledo Edisons website. Their website clearly states that customers who are behind on their accounts will receive a written notice of possible disconnection and how to prevent it.The website also states that Toledo Edison does not call or email to demand immediate payment to avoid same day shut off.

A person called to verify cutoff of power to our church address at noon today. Gave me a number to call 1-800-566-7151, a reference number 97462008 and his name (Nick-#10473) to call and stop the cutoff. I didn’t call this number but instead called Toledo Edison at the number listed in the phone book and they verified that everything is fine with our account. There is no shutoff pending. They verified that the phone number given does not belong to any Toledo Edison office in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, or Pennsylvania.

Two men and one woman came to my apartment complex posing as utility workers. They were very rude, mean and nasty attempting to collect debt for Toledo Edison. One of the men nearly got into a fight with my neighbor. I am very upset at this. How do they know where we live? They knocked door to door.
