Our community-minded and dear friends at Park Slope Parents are warning the community about an energy scam that’s different than the one we’ve been covering for a month. This one is about people brazenly ringing doorbells and asking for money, presumably from the tragically gullible. Here it is, via the miracle of copy and paste:

A while ago several people wrote about a guy who buzzed people’s doors claiming to be a supplier for Con Edison. I think he then tried to get money if people opened the door. Well, today he buzzed my downstairs buzzer and said the same thing. When I said all the meters were downstairs, he insisted that he needed to come in and see me. I said no and did not go downstairs to talk to him. Please be aware that this is going on in the slope again.

These are some very slick dudes. And, by the way, always check IDs carefully.
