Expert Opinion

Bottom line: this number is likely a scam call posing as a utility bill collector. Callers use a generic toll‑free vibe, sometimes naming a utility like Penelec, then pressure you to pay an alleged electric bill. The dead‑air and rude tone are classic red flags, and the fact that the caller won’t identify themselves matches known phishing tactics. Block the number, verify any bill directly with your provider, and never share personal or payment info over an unsolicited call. If you’ve already given details, monitor accounts for suspicious activity and report the incident to the FTC.
