(301) 223-0080

the number is calling a***n...

Annoying Scamming mfs.

Paid my Xcel bill this morning, just got a call about my bill. Funny thing is, the number they called isn't listed on my Xcel account. My husband's number is on our account. Weird.

same. got 2 calls so far from this number. No voicemail left or anything.

On June 2, shortly after I called Xcel and made a payment via the legitimate 800 number, I s****ed receiving calls from this number.  They called multiple times, while I was at work, and never left a message. I do not accept long-distance calls from any number, ever - I am on a corporate phone plan and would have to pay the long distance charges.

I got this call twice today- didn't answer because It was a Maryland area code (301) number-- good thing I looked the number up and saw this.

Calling about Xcel bill, amount he gave me was more than I owed since I made payment couple of days ago. He was very kind and said he would make notes on account. I called Xcel direct just to make sure and amount they had was less than what that guy had told me. Lady at Excel said the 301 area code was for company they use to make calls on accounts.

Only call the 800 number for Xcel Energy regarding your bill.  Xcel Energy confirmed there was a server error with a former collection agency it used to work through (in Maryland).  This hiccup in the server updated all files of Xcel customers.  Part of the server error is that the number being shown on your caller id shows the "trunk" (?) number of where it comes from when it's supposed to show an 800 number or likewise.  Call Xcel, they got a hold of security right away and got the answers for me almost immediately about the issue and confirmed many complaint calls regarding this number.I expressed concern about iden***y theft, the service rep. at Xcel I talked to did digress about how personal information can be stolen in multiple ways and what to watch out for since it did happen to him once (i.e. cloning of your cell phone, how a thief could have done this without brea****g into Xcel files just by knowing your number and your energy service company based on region).

I have received  and did not answer 2 calls from this number today as well, and they did not leave any messages.  My Excel bill  was actually due, so I called Xcel to pay it.  I spoke to a rep there and told him about what I found here online.  He said he would report it to security.

I have recieved 2 calls from this number today also. I didnt answer either adn they did not leave a *****ge.

Called and left no message

Got 2 calls today...I did not answer and no voicemail left.  How on earth are they getting the full names and amount due?  I am going to report to Xcel.

This same thing just happened to me. The number was calling my cell and when I listened to the message it listed my first middle initial and last name and said it was an important message from XCEL. I paid my bill yes****ay so I know this is not a real XCEL representative! DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY!!!

I received a call just a few minutes ago and did not answer it I have had several other calls from different numbers wanting payment from xcel all of which are either call center md or call center va all wanting the same I wish they would stop.

I got a call from the above number, and like you, I didn't pick up b/c I am at work and I don't have it programmed to anyone.  Interesting, I just paid my Xcel bill today.  Scary.

I had a call from this number, I didn't pick up as I'm at work and I do not answer my cell if I dont have the number programmed in.  So I googled it, and found these entries, which is interesting, as I just made a payment with xcel a few hours ago...to bad the caller didnt leave a voicemail.

ditto-  a total scam

I got a call from them tonite, they knew the amount due on my bill and said I was late and needed a payment. Fortunately I had paid the bill a few days before and I told them this...they said theyd put a note in my account. Fishy!!!

Got a call from this # as well. Let it go to vm and when i checked it said "This is an important message for Jeff-rey (middle) (last name)" and that I need to call some #800 asap. Yeah right.

my wife recived a cal from this number they said she was late on her xcel energy bill and needed to pay here her an odd amount so my wife called xcel and they said it was a scam do not pay these people anything it is a scam call xcel if you need to pay your bill
