So, I got a call a little bit ago from my mom, who got a text from a friend of hers who heard from her son about some supposed scam where armed burglars will pretend to be from the water or electric company, even wearing the uniforms, and claim that you need to let them in to do something legitimate, but then they rob you. The son lives really close to me, but he didn't say if it was supposed to be in this area, or if it was something he'd just heard about in general, or what, so I'm kind of freaked out right now.

I know, it sounds like something that belongs on Snopes, but I can't seem to find anything about it online and I'm worried. I mean, I'm definitely not going to be answering the door for anyone who appears to be from the water or electric company (I never answer the door for people I don't know anyway) but still.
