What the Scam Looks Like

The scam, as the source describes it
What Patch reports scammers do
  • “The Wallingford Electric Division (WED) has learned that customers have received collection calls from scammers,” officials wrote in a post on the Town of Wallingford Government Facebook page.
  • “These calls originate from an 844 number, and the person(s) demand that the account(s) be paid in full to avoid being shut off that day.”
  • Officials said that while the Wallingford Electric Division does reach out to customers by phone, “the Division does NOT demand payment in full by the end of the day.”
  • “WED employees are NOT equipped to take payment over the phone,” officials wrote in the post.
  • Asks for money
Patch does not publish the exact wording of the message or call, so none is shown. The sentences above are the source’s own description, not a transcript.

How to Protect Yourself

  • Do not send money because of an unexpected call, text, or email. Hang up and contact the agency or person yourself using a number you look up independently.
