Hey All
Beware of people calling and posing as bill collectors.
DO NOT pay bills over the phone. If they say you owe DTE or anyone else money, say okay, hang up and go call the number on your bill.
They have been targeting business owners. So be careful.
Below is a warning from the DTE website:
In a recent telephone scheme, some Detroit area residents received recorded phone messages, purportedly from DTE Energy, saying their utility bill was overdue and their electric service would be disconnected. When the residents called the toll-free “800” number provided on the message, they were prompted to enter their name, address, and social security number. The callers were then informed that they had received the phone call in error and that everything was fine.
