Did not get a call but I received a letter to my house saying that I now have an electric service at an address I’ve never been associated with. They gave this number to call for any discrepancies. The letter looks identical to an actual AES letter, has an installation ID, the correct PO Box and street address, and they clearly know where I live. I called AES from their website to confirm and we deduced it was a scam, these people even used the same automated phone line as AES. Use the number from their website.
