I effin hate telephone scam artists... I get at least one a day, sometimes three. Like I'd believe them.
So this guy calls, claiming to be from Pepco (the energy supplier here), and was trying to convince me that Pepco 'refused' to take my money as if some dispute. When would that be, I ask you? He even gave a name and supposed badge ID number... not that I believed him. If you google, you'd find that Pepco has been warning people about said scam artists.
So ... I of course called Pepco and verified that I have a balance of $0.00 pending. Yep, the guy was utter trash. I shouldn't receive a bill for a few more weeks yet.
EVEN IF THEY GIVE YOU A SOB STORY THAT THEY HAVE A BUSINESS ID NUMBER, DON"T BUY THE SCAM.
