Scammers calling to try and bilk you out of money shouldn't surprise anyone. Usually the scammers are very bad at their job and one can easily tell the call is bullshit. Sometimes they do hit someone who either doesn't understand the runaround or is just too trusting. Johnny would hate to think of a smooth talker calling his elderly mother and trying to scare and confuse her.
A new scam where a PSE&G customer is called and along with the obvious things that are listed with a phone number, this time the scammers knew the due date of the bill of the customer to gain trust and bilked a local auto repair shop out of serious money. A lot more including a somewhat brushy offy comment about what PSE&G about how someone might get a customer's billing due date.
Please go read the article, if not for you then maybe a relative or just someone you know who can be intimidated by scary talk over a phone line.
