I got to talk with a woman, waste about 5 minutes of her time. She was trying to get info about my NationalGrid bill. Told her I don't have NG (true), that my town has a municipal electric utility (also true). She stammered. i then every-so-politely asked that she remove my number from their calling list, that I get two or three calls from them a week, and it was really a waste of my time. And theirs! She sweetly agreed to remove my number. I wished her a Happy New year, and hung up.
Caller ID’s that give only a town name and unfamiliar number are 100% scams. The callers use a long list of spoofed cities & towns hoping one will answer either out of curiosity or the 1 in 100 chance that you know someone from that town.
