Recent call logs show a spike in messages claiming refunds from electric utilities tied to the number +15491595586. Callers pose as utility reps offering a rebate check and a 30% discount if you press 1. These scripts match known utility‑scam patterns that harvest personal data or trigger premium‑rate charges. When an unexpected call asks for immediate action, hang up and contact the actual utility using a verified number on your bill. Never share account details or payment info over the phone, and consider adding the number to your carrier’s block list. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone provider.
