Description

Caller claimed to be from Hawaiian Electric saying that we were delinquent in our payment and if we don't make payment, our power will be cut off in 45 minutes. He gave me a phone number 877-251-3289 to call to pay our bill. I told him that we do not pay electricity bill since it is included in building rent and therefore he is calling the wrong person but he insisted that I call that number to clear things up. Upon googling that number, I find that it's the number for a company called Credit Repair Zone. The phone number given matches that on their website but there is no address listed for the company.
