they called us today from the same number threatening to turn off our electricity in 35 minutes if we didn't go to Walgreens and buy a moneypak something to do with the meter definitely a scam they had my family completely scared today

About an hour ago somebody called my elderly mom saying they were going to shut off her lights in 40 minutes due to non payment. I called the company back and they are obviously not representing a legit company. I asked for their address and they said (in spanish) "we'll wait for you here" and hung up. Jerks!

They called today and ask for a $480 moneypak card from walgreens, valero, etc. they said it was from the electric company  we hung up, immediately called our local electric company to verify that and SOMEBODY ANSWERED (a guy talking in Spanish with a Puerto Rican accent) how can they answered if we dial another number.??????, he insisted that sending them the money thru the moneypak, we almost did, but we called again our local company and this time they answered and told us it was a scam. They intercepting phone calls after you hang up and dial the next number.

You might want to call the REAL Edison company too.  Let them know about this call so they can alert their customers.  I am sure you are not the only one they tried to scam.

They called my house while I was out and asked for me, but my mom answered. They told her they were from EDISON electric company and that our bill went up to $480 because the electric box was not working properly and they needed to come changed really quick. They asked her to get a money pack for that amount and that they would come immediately when she calls them back with the activation number. They left the name of Eduardo Jimenez and the number 18882018125 but when we called back there was just a voicemail. They only spoke Spanish and they are do dumb that they didn't realize that my area belongs to Imperial Irrigation District and not Edison. My mom called the police and we report it since they called about 10 times. Glad she called me to ask me before doing anything.

They also called me telling me that they're going to cut my electricity if i don't buy a moneypack card of $500. He was a spanish man named Eduard Jimenez, he made me buy 2 cards & said he'll call back but never did. And when i called back it sends me to a voice mail. ^,*{^[@*#"

Just got a call from an angel Garcia asking for my husband but using my maiden name saying he was calling from Dominion Power he spoke in Spanish when I asked if spoke English he said I did not speak Spanish he would have transfer to a English speaking rep that would @&$@&&$&@@&&$!!?$$&&@@ and then hung up. Tried to call back to give him a piece of my mind but it goes straight to voice mail. Can't wait for him to call me back again, he's not going to know what hit him.

My mom received a phone call at 730 pm and was asked to go to walgreens to get a 200 dollar pre paid card. I immediately called com ed and there customer service dept was closed, so I called them back and told them that I would call com ed myself during working hours. The also threaten to turn off lights wtf and said they would come over to fix the problem. No thank you!

My parent received a call at 8:00 this morning saying they were from an electric company and that my mom needed to send them $200.00 via a "green debit card" or else they were going to disconnect her light until Thursday of this week. Everything was in Spanish and like drpepper mentioned that their technicians were gonna come to their house to disconned the service because their meter is broken or something like that which is a LIE.

DON"T BELIEVE they are THIEVES!!!

Yup. Scammers. Just got a call from them by this number:

1 800 652 5503.

Same deal, (spanish speakers) some Electric Company short circuit B.S. and said I was going to lose my service if I didn't receive their "help". They told me to call 888-201-8125 in order to get it all sorted out. They even mentioned someone would come out to my house! WTF!

After hanging up with them I immediatley called my service provider in Georgia and they confirmed my suspicions. They said they would submit it to their Security Dept. Not sure what they'll do but they mentioned I could follow up.

Be careful out there!

This is the report for the other number from my previous entry, 1-800-932-2209  with records even from back in 2009! Identity thieves and credit card frauds

Anybody can do anyting about this? I'd do it if I knew where to go.

Be careful. I don't know exactly the purpose, but as Stacy mentioned, they have been calling by parents (in Spanish) from "Dominion Power" to notify them of a short circuit and somw confusing ideas about their billing.
Fortunately the phone number is here in this forum to confirm the scam.

The caller ID shows 800 932 2209, but the person requested to be called back to 888 201 8125 asking for  ADRIAN DIAZ.

Would it be possible to report this case to FBI?

Yes the phone number 888-201-8125 as of 11/29/2012 is a scam company that pretends to be your electric company. The called my friend in Arlington, VA.

The phone number 888-201-8125 as of 11/15/2012 is a scam company that pretends to be your electric company. Recently, Connecticut was hit with Hurricane Sandy and hundreds of thousands of customers were left with damage to their home and electric meters. The scammers are calling and asking Spanish speaking customers to fill a pre paid credit card and call them back to give them the information. The scammers indicate either the meter is broken, and needs to be fixed, or that because of the Hurricane, that Connecticut Light and Power has not received their payments for their bills. Once the customer calls in with a prepaid card, the scammers indicate they need additional funds. DO NOT GET A PRE PAID CARD AND IF ANY QUESTIONS CONTACT YOUR ELECTRIC COMPANY

have a "package" for me.

This company sells drugs without a prescription. The focus on Schedule 3 Narcotics, in Vicodin and Schedule 4 in Valium and Xanax.  I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER with these people. I have already reported them to my local DEA office, as well as the DEA office servicing the State of Florida where they are making these calls.  If you really want to have some fun, call them back at 888 201 8125 and do what you wish.

They left a message saying that they are On-Time Shipping Department and that they have a package ready to be sent out to me.

Just like the rest, they are selling prescription drugs over the phone.  I have asked to stop, but they continue to call.

Its a scam trying to sell prescription drugs. DO NOT RETURN CALL!

they keep calling saying they have a package for me. Who are they?T9T8
