This is an old one , but it's surfaced again . Somebody called my 86 yr old Mother and told her that they were from the power company and that her power was going to be cut off unless she made an immediate payment . They wanted a Credit Card obviously and Mom told them that she would have to go look for it . They said they would call back . Mom called my wife , she pays all of Mom's bills for her and the electric bill is automatically drafted so it took her about 90 seconds to pull up the account and see that everything was good . People fall for this scam and they like to prey on the elderly it seems . If you have elderly parents , etc. please tell them not to fall for this !
