Same scam info as reported above except caller was Mr. Roberts.
These days just having a home phone is just like inviting strangers into your home.

95% of calls I receive are pest scammers; it must pay well!

Got the same message via voicemail from Mr. Waters. Clearly not my current area code.

what is their purpose in getting people to call back or to have their statement ready?? Using different names & calling from different companies for about 3 years, each time checked out the phone # & name & always a scam,
they are not too bright at least change the last name. is there nothing that can be done with these people?????????????

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams/spams, or learn more about them.

First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

For a more frequently updated list of complaint sites, with links to government web pages, look here:

Got the same call from Mr. Waters; caller ID said Allentown, NJ.  He said he was calling in reference to my power bill.  Said to call back 609-201-0121 and have my electric bill in front of me.  Obviously, since he didn't mention any company name, it's a scam.  I didn't call him back.
