“What is it with you people who hold such suspicions? When someone knocks on your door requesting assistance, do you automatically suspect them of malintent? Ha, you probably do in the paranoid US of A. It's an illness, imo” - Swami

Two weeks ago, I had two well-dressed men come to my door saying they were from PP& L (local power company). They had proper PPL emblems on their suit coats and a form on a clipboard with the PPL logo. They said I may qualify for a reduction in the cost of electricity and wanted to see my last bill. Which at that point, I sent them on their way. I then called PPL and was told they never send people out like that. It turns out they were another power company wanting to take the info from my bill/ statement and change my power company to their company.

A couple months ago, my phone was hacked into. They said my bank account was being hacked and wanted me to go to the bank and withdraw my money (converting it to bit coin at their designated location) before the pending, fraudulent withdraw would take place. They told me they suspect an employee at the bank, so don’t say anything to the people at the bank. Well, I did tell a bank official what happened, and they said this has been happening to other customers.

So yeah, it’s realistic to be suspicious of everything today. Not in a paranoid way, but in a common-sense way.
