719-418-0246

We were notified that scammers have been calling utility customers in Colorado Springs and advising them that if they don't make an immediate payment through a pre-paid debit card, their services will be disconnected.  The scammers were asking Customers to purchase a pre-paid debit card and provide the number back to them.  They were calling from (719) 418-0246.  They were also advising customers that they needed to pay $1000 as a deposit on a new electric meter, which they would get back within a few days, and/or that they are behind on their payments and facing disconnection.  These are very common utilities scams and no utility company would ever demand this type of payment.  When in doubt about a call or demand, hang up and call the Customer Service Center for your particular Utility Company and confirm the legitimacy of the call before ever purchasing/providing a pre-paid debit card #.

Carlos Maritinez calls on July 4th leaving a message about questions in an ongoing investigation of illegal medications that he says I purchased (which I knew right away was a scam b/c I have not done that). I just deleted it. Don't give these scammers the time of day. No one would ever call you for anything. They would send you a letter and then you should call your utility company or the true business not the number on their letter. Don't be a victim.

Received a call from Carlos Martinez at this number.  Like so many of the others on this site he said he was calling about a purchase I supposedly made 3 years ago (he was clearly phishing) from an online pharmacy.  I hung up on him, he called back twice.  I listened for awhile and then told him that I would need to turn this matter over to my attorney.  He hung up rather quickly at that point.  He never asked for money but I think he was headed there.  Told me he needed me to testify for the DEA.  Beware.....clearly a busy man!
