The caller said I had a past-due gas bill for a rental house we own. However, I told them there's no gas meter and no gas service to that address. They insisted I owed, claiming they were Arkansas Western Gas. Well, that gas company was sold to Source Gas several years ago and Source was purchased by Black Hills Energy.

After hanging up, I called back and the person answering wanted me to give them my birth date and other information before talking to me. I asked the name of their company. She said it was Electric and Gas Corporation. I asked what areas they served. She fumbled and said Arizona, Texas, Alabama and Arkansas. I told her that they were a scam and I would pass along the details of their attempting to collect from me to as many people as possible. She hung up.
