uabenson1 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think I remember seeing something on here about people poseing as contractors and coming to peoples houses and robbing them. Just had an encounter with two men at my house in a gray Silverado truck with CM Water and Gas company sign on the truck. Before I came to the door I peeped out the window to observe what was going on and one guy was on the side of the house reading the meter I assume and the other was standing outside the truck, smoking a cigarette like he was on break, so it was taking them a while so I call for my son who happens to be home from college, so we go to the door and ask what's going on and they say they are with Atlanta Gas and Light reading meters. So they proceed to leave and go down the drive way, and another "service" truck pulls up and they proceed to have this long conversation, so apparently they knew each other, and my son yells down to them, what are yall doing? And I tell him to come in the house, but eventually they both take off. But I did call Atlanta Gas and Light, and they say that that is one of their contractors. The whole thing was just weird, im wondering if I should have called the police? I hate to call the police on someone who is really doing their job. Just don't know these days!!

markdavd Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 If any of them said they workked for Atlanta Gas AND Light, they have nothing to do with the company. There is no AND in the name. Link to post Share on other sites

There is no AND in the name. Im not sure if they said and or not. The one that said it, was too busy putting his cigarette out he couldnt get too much out. Im just praying they were on the up and up and if they werent we scared them away. I just hate being so suspicious of people. Link to post Share on other sites

mei lan Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 This was supposed to be a serious topic, but I guess not? Well, once you said AGL said those guys worked for them, I think everybody felt there was no real danger. Then Freebird's comment about the cigarette sort of started us all to snickering. We didn't mean to be disrespectful. I agree with being cautious these days, but it sounded like those guys were legit, even if they were a little strange. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
