(US)Bill with same name and phone number
A husband has been receiving text messages from Georgia Power about a bill for an Atlanta address, despite not living in Georgia and having no account with the company. The account name is nearly identical to his, differing only by a middle initial, and the representative confirmed no matching social security number. The phone number was removed from the account, but concerns about identity theft remain.
