It turns out the call claimed to be from Columbia Gas, yet the details didn't line up with any known account. When a caller references billing issues you can't verify, it's wise to pause and verify through official channels—look up the company's main number yourself rather than trusting the caller‑provided one. Never share personal or financial info until you confirm the identity. If you suspect a scam, block the number and report it to your phone carrier and the FTC. Keep a log of suspicious calls; patterns can help you and authorities track potential fraudsters.
