This large scumbag utility scam operation is now leaving "silent" voicemails on cell phones. The phone never rings, there is no call record on your "recent calls" list, just a robo voicemail. These criminals are getting even scummier!!! All they want is your electric account number, which they can use to add rip off electric charges onto...just as if they had your credit card number!!!

I received a message just as described above. I appreciate your post. The call is noted as originating in Bensenville, IL.

Phone doesn't actually ring, but I get a missed call notification from a Restricted number. There is a voicemail from a woman speaking very quickly saying she needs me to give her a call back about "high charges on (my) electric account".

My electric bill has been the lowest it's been all year, so I knew from the get-go that this was a scam.

Hello this is Ms. Sanders I've been trying to reach you regarding an important matter about the supply charges on your electric account. Give me a call back at 847-787-1103 and I have a copy of your ledger statement with you to review your reference number is R158746. Thank you.

Yep, same exact call, same exact person and reference number as above, believe it or not. Scammers!
