The energy scam reports keep on coming and, in some ways, keep getting stranger. Here’s one from Sheepshead Bay, via the email list from our good friends at Park Slope Parents, who are always performing a community service in getting the work out:

Im in Sheepshead Bay was at the nail salon. Two well dressed young people a man and a woman walked in (we all thought they were Jehovah Witnesses). Told the person they assumed was the owner (Korean poor English skills) that he was from Con-ed. Had a copy of her bill in a folder and told her if she didn’t sign it she would have her bill raised and possibly fined. The owner said she was not the owner and couldn’t sign anything. He started getting nasty and said he would talk to anyone who speaks English. I told him to leave his card and she would make any changes after talking to the owner. I asked to see ID which he refused to show me. I said if you are with con-ed you should have ID. He grudgingly have me his name and when I asked for something with the company name he (and hold on to your hats for this one) He told me to S*** HIS D*** and left the store. Needless to say I ran out after him. Screaming like a wild woman. He then at my insistence and against the advice of his female co-worker who up to that point said nothing (or I was calling the police which frequent the deli next door) gave me some literature fotr the company ACCESS ENERGY (after being so nervous he spilt his entire cup of coffee all over himself). He then called me a white little something I wont even type words with asterisks for. He tried to go into the deli and I told him if he went into another store on the strip I would call 911. They left, I proceeded to call the company spoke to a supervisor and told her that I will call back on Tues for a follow up. All of the customers in the shop either gave me their phone numbers or I already had it (one was my sister one my neighbor) and are all prepared to stand by me 100%.

Has a nice feel to it, doesn’t it?
