Is This Utility Discount Call a Scam?
Summary — +12162435126
Expert Opinion
The caller sounded like an Indian or Middle‑Eastern male claiming to be Mike Wilson from a utility company and offering a discount on your electric bill. He asked for personal or account details, which is a classic red flag for a phishing or scam call. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share account information over an unsolicited call. If you’re unsure, contact your electric provider directly using an official number. Consider registering your line with the national do‑not‑call list and use call‑blocking apps to reduce future nuisances. Stay vigilant and trust your instincts when offers sound too good to be true.
