Oneida homeowners are being approached by door-to-door salespeople claiming to be from National Grid. City officials are telling residents to call police if they encounter any of these individuals.
I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to internet and phone scams that attempt to "phish" information from me electronically. I'm kind of a "know it all" who's always giving other people advice on what not to do. Still, I had a very close call today from a scammer who came very close to getting me.
