I had one of these mooks show up at my place about three weeks ago (or more likely a different mook running the same scam) claiming to be from the gas company and needing to get to my basement to get a reading. My gas meter is on the outside of the building. I told him to get the hell off my porch. He dutifully complied. For some reason I didn't think to call the police.

This crap pisses me off. It's usually some old lady who gets scammed, and sometimes hurt.

I won't ever let anyone into my house unless they have a prior appointment--even if they have an I.D. and uniform.
