Is 800-342-5775 a scam or spam call?
got a call from 800-342-5775 and no one answered.
Annoying called twice in 2 hours. no id or message
Called my cell phone several times. Doesn't leave a message or identification. SCAM!
Identifies as PPL Alert, but is not associated with PPL (I checked and was told they try to switch electrical generation provider when given account number.) Have repeatedly told them to remove me from their calling list. I am on PA and Fed Do Not Call Lists.
caller said they were from PPL and the call was pertaining to late bill. I didn't owe a bill
8003425775 rec'd call on my landline showing PPL electric I did not answer as this is a scam they do not call
Claims they are PPL but when I called back and advised that I was recording our call and requested additional information they hung up on me. This happened 3 times.
8003425775 called my cell - said they were PPL electric and asked to speak with Lynella Fischer. I told them nobody by that name at this residence. She said thankyou, sorry for bothering you". I do not use PPL for my electric. Also got texts from many different short codes and phone numbers, one of those texts said I owed PPL electric money and included a weird URL. Over the last month I have gotten numerous unsolicited texts asking for Linda with a weird url which I looked up at https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/ and the url is untested by Trend Micro meaning it might not be a safe url.
