Expert Opinion
Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, the caller ID tricks you into thinking it’s Columbia Gas when the call is really a spoof. The number +17245643189 has shown up repeatedly with a Columbia Gas label, but the utility confirms it never uses that line. Treat any unsolicited call that claims to be your gas provider with skepticism, especially if it asks for personal info or a survey. Let the call go to voicemail, verify the number on the official bill, and then block the source. Report the spoof to your phone carrier and to the FTC to help curb the scam.
