The scariest one is living in Va a few years ago get a call from supposedly Appalachian power that they are on the way over to shut off our electricity for non payment.

Sounded very real so looked at our last bill which we had paid weeks early and to ease our mind called power company.

They said it was an ongoing scam. Asked if they want the number so they could investigate and they had no interest.
