Good info from @MilitaryConsumer.

You get a robocall saying you paid too much on a utility bill. To make up for this mistake, they say, you’ll get a cash refund and a discount on your future bills. All you have to do is press a number to get your money and discount. Sorry but…not so fast. This is probably just another utility scam.
