Robo voice stated overdue payment will cause a disruption in service in 30-45 minutes. I chose to speak with a representative to state this was in error. I gave the address for the house the power was going to be disrupted and gave my name. But then the guy on the other end stated I needed to download an app called Zelle to transfer money to them in the next 30-45 minutes or my power would be disruptive. After I asked him for a call back number he hung up on me.

Man said he was disconnecting our power service for nonpayment. (he was difficult to understand)

I knew I had paid our power bills online and while he was talking I looked up our accounts and they were current. He demanded a Zelle check from our bank account for $798.36 or he was having his technician shut our power off and then pay a $1000 deposit to have it turned back on. I finally called him on his bluff and he hung up immediately. The phone number he called from will not even ring through.
