 There's a lot of common schemes that involve scammers use of technology to replicate a company's phone number through caller ID. So it's important to stay alert. HEPCO spokesperson Frank Tedesco says if you get a call out of the blue demanding immediate payment or your service will be cut off. That is a red flag and that most likely is a scam. Or if the person asks for your social security number or bank info. If you suspect anything. Hang up immediately, contact the company, check the status of their accounts.
