Rambling over coffee.... this particular scam makes no sense to me and... our electric company customer service reps are akin to speaking to overseas help that speak no English
I had plans and tasks to be done, but just thinking about doing them makes me a bit... not angry, but grumpy. So I'm putting them off and just drinking coffee instead.
One thing on the docket for today may or may not be canceled... so I'm just kind of waiting to see. And so... here I am. Because rambling over coffee on CoffeeTalking.com seems like good way to pass some time until I know for sure.

This morning I got a text from my legit bank text number, that I had received funds through the app the bank partners with, from someone I don't know, who lives 1000 miles away (I googled their name and there was one exact match).
Obviously I know it's a scam of some sort but wasn't sure how this particular one worked. This text did not ask me to accept, did not have a Y/N, and asked for no interaction. I didn't even have to click on it. Nothing. I did check my bank account as well and there was nothing pending either way... which is why I'm not sure how this particular scam works.
I ended up screen-shotting it and sending it to the phishing email addy at my bank and deleting the text without responding. But I UN-enrolled my phone number from that connected service on my bank website, after checking and seeing it was attached.
Another random ramble over coffee....
Our electric company has an 'email us' contact link on their site where you fill it out on site and send through on site. I've used it 8-9 times on 2 different days and I'm not sure they going through. The page refreshes but stays the same. No "SENT" page nor comment shows up. So I'm wondering if their site 'contact us' doesn't actually work. This is a very large electric company in our state. It says to 'call' at their help number for "general information or general issues" and frankly, my issue isn't general. It also will not get an answer from the 'barely passed high school' customer service reps they hire and use. Talking to them is like talking to a 2 year old. Literally. So I was hopeful an email would at least have my concern and question in writing for any future needs I have on this topic.
Alas. I suppose I'll have to call them. I won't get any answers and won't get anywhere. And due to some news articles I've read about this power company in our city, my particular issue could conceivably not be fixed for 3+ years... which is what I need to know.
Ahhh, it's just the coffee talking again. Carry on.
