just a warning - citypower guys tried to scam me

[icantchooseone]

they claimed i had put in a meter bypass on this meter , he said see the loop ? i told him its just the neutral . furthermore thats a SUB meter , not a CP meter


then he sent me this picture and said the second red wire on the left is stealing electricity . i told his thats an output wire and the only thing it powers is a surge protector

Don't bother, that's like reporting the scumbags to other scumbags.

You gave up too much info too soon. He was after a little grease money.
You need to act ignorant for long enough for him to give up the game.

What scam was he actually trying, did he try to solicit a bribe?

They'll even try from the JHB water guys, when coming to fix the outside meter, they kept blaming my side and wanted me to pay them to fix.
Luckily the one guy was like stop the BS it's our jobs and started digging.
