How this scam type works
From our Utility Shutoff Scams guide.
- The urgent call. 'This is [utility company]. A technician is on the way to disconnect your service in 30 minutes.'
- Caller ID spoofing. Your phone displays the real utility company number.
- Payment via gift card or crypto. 'We can only accept payment via Green Dot cards in the next 10 minutes.'
- The threat. If you hesitate, they escalate: 'Your restaurant will lose hundreds of dollars if the power goes out.'
