Calls from Power company (spam) calls by the number +14123936000 - Expert Opinion

Calls from the number, (412) 393-6000, according to tellows users are claiming to be from a power company, like those from "James Duquesne Light," creating a suspicious atmosphere. Despite the urgent threats of power shutoff, the inconsistencies, such as the caller referencing a non-local provider and mentioning bills that were already paid, made it clear these were likely scams. The mix of live calls and poorly executed robocalls, complete with background noise, further eroded their credibility. The persistence and deception in these calls underscored their fraudulent nature.

    Lynne reported JAMES DUQESNE LIGHT with the number ‎4123936000 as Cost trap

    9/8/20, 9:24 AM

    Caller left message 8/31/20 stating our Duquesne light account is scheduled for shut off. Cancellation notice sent and they have not heard back from us. The number was spoofed saying DUQ light on caller ID, the number told to return was a different number 412-900-3518. Which I called. When speaking he said the check was posted on incorrect account and takes up to 48 hours to move, and the shut off is automated so the only way to keep power on is to pay them a check and they will refund the payment on the other account. When I looked at my current bill, the payment was applied to correct account. He was fairly convincing. He sent me an email copy of shut off notice....it is a cmail account. Large redflag for me. I hung up and called the real Duquesne light right away.

    Was called by this number regarding a power shutoff notice. He stated that he was calling from a power company that wasn’t the provider in my area and plus I just paid my bill yesterday. SCAM!

    Called and left a message saying it was an automated call about a 14 day shut off (but I could hear the wind in the microphone - so not automated). I looked at my electric bill online, and is paid in full. Has to be a scam.
