This number just called my business claiming they were contacting by our electrical company OG & E that our service would be turned off in the next hour due to non-payment. We are new owners and I know our first bill wasn't due for another month. He said to contact customer service at 1-800-587-1750, option 1, and then offered to connect me. Something didn't feel right, so I told him I would call OG & E myself. I did end up contacting my utility company and verifying that I didn't owe payment and wouldn't be shut off. The representative asked if they asked for payment or a pre-paid card, which they didn't. I provided information about the call to be turned into the security department and they advised to contact the local authorities. THIS IS A SCAM, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION OR PAYMENT OVER THE PHONE. When in doubt, hang up and call a reputable number for your company from your statements or a website.
