We had a warning for you from Rowan County Investigators about a group posing as electric employees earlier this week.
It appears the group is at it again. Though this time, they’ve switched up the scam a bit.
They’re not out to protect you from lightning and one couple is beating themselves up after what happened.
“I was dumb,” Thomas Stevens said.

Three men and a woman in a white utility truck were again posing as the electric company Wednesday.
“It went from that to something else and something else, before you know it, they were ready to leave,” Thomas Stevens said.
First they said it would cost $44 then $4,000. They got the price back down to $1,000.
They worked for about 45 minutes, left a bogus receipt and took off making their way straight to the bank to cash the check.
“He seemed like a real friendly person,” Janice Stevens said.
Now the Stevens are just hoping it won’t happen to anyone else.
“We’re Christian people trying to live honest, treat people good, help people when we can,” Thomas said.
If you think you have seen the scammers in your area, you are asked to call the sheriff’s department.
