Scams

My Uncle got a call yesterday from this number telling him that his power was being shut off, trying to get him to pay to keep it on: 866-388-7592 or (866) 388-7592 or 18663887592

[Edit by NeeP: number seems to be dead right now]

Confirmed robodialer: 866-388-7592 | 18663887592 - Robocaller Warning! - Nomorobo
