Imagine getting a call about your gas bill from an unfamiliar number. The script usually claims to be from Consumers Energy, asks for a copy of your bill, and becomes aggressive if you question it. These are classic phone scams that rely on urgency and intimidation. Never share account numbers, payment info, or personal details over the phone unless you’ve independently verified the caller through the official utility’s website or customer service line. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state's consumer protection agency. Keeping a do‑not‑call list up‑to‑date and using call‑filtering apps can also cut down repeat attempts.
