This is disturbing. Most of us are savvy enough to know how to deal
with these types, but there are many in our neighborhood who are
vulnerable (i.e. more trusting) to these scammers. I would encourage
folks to talk to your neighbors, especially those you feel may be more
at risk of being scammed. You could also offer to help such neighbors
with the task of making this difficult/confusing decision. I'm sure
many folks don't have computers or aren't internet savvy....

Howdy,
Yesterday I was visited by a guy claiming to be from PECO and
seeking to "fix" my account. He stated that PECO previously informed
me that I "needed" to pick an electric provider and he was sent out
to help me. If I would just show him my electric bill, he assured me
that he would be happy to fill out all of the forms for me to fix
this problem. He was impressive in his ability to twist things.
Apparently another neighbor was also visited by a woman yesterday
pushing the same lies.
Cheers,
Stephen
