I was originally going to talk about "heat" because I recently received the electric bill and this month's energy use almost doubled that of July 2020. I was not totally surprised because we have had a very HOT summer.
If you are contacted by someone who seems to represent your electric company and demands payment of a delinquent bill to keep power flowing, don't give right in. Scammers nationwide are using the tactic to fleece victims for bundles of cash.
