Type of a scam Utility

We are a manufacturing business in Englewood, Ohio and received a phone call late Monday on 3/5/2018, telling us an electrician from Dayton Power and Light was coming in 45 minutes to disconnect our electric service for nonpayment of our utility bill. We were given a phone number to call to straighten out the problem and we were told to go to Rite Aid to purchase (4) Kilowatt Service Payment Cards of $500 each and then call back to give them the serial numbers. We were also told they had to be paid for in cash, no check or credit card permitted. We had to go to our bank, take out the cash and then go to Rite Aid to purchase the cards. However, the clerk at Rite Aid cut us off and told us this was a scam and that it had happened to others. She saved our bacon! We had two additional phone calls after that time from this "person", trying to collect the monies but we did not let on to him that we learned this was fraud. PLEASE do not fall for this! We cannot believe that we were almost a victim as well and the clerk at Rite Aid told us that DP&L is being slammed with phone calls from people demanding their money back for the prepaid cards. However, they can only be used to pay on this type of utility and once they are bought, the money is gone. Please Beware!!

Type of a scam Utility

I received a message on my cell phone which I believe is fraudulent claiming to be in regard to my Dayton Power and Light account. I did not answer the message and contacted Dayton Power and Light customer service directly--they stated there was no issue with my account and that they had not attempted to contact me.

The message I received sounded very professional and reads as follows: "Hello. This is Barbara calling to follow up about a notice on your Dayton Power and Light utility account. Please call me back immediately with a recent statement received by mail at 937-395-2595."

The message originated from the number 937-972-0298.

As noted above I did not answer the message. Regarding the question below as to whether the scammer attempted to take money, I answered no simply because there was no other option and a selection was required--the question is not applicable because I avoided any communication with the scammer. Please consider including this option as a response. I wanted to make a report regarding the call/attempted contact.
