Caller purported to be from 'American Power'; 'not selling anything' (plenty of boiler room chatter in background). Wanted to schedule a '15 minute interview' to determine eligibility for a $4500 payment from the US government to offset power costs without having to purchase anything! Wanted to know if my monthly power bill was over $100 and how many adults lived in the house. Gave me a confirmation number. Transferred to a verifier who asked if the scheduled appointment was OK. They have no website, "because we're not selling anything." !? I asked him for the legal name of of their business. He said it was "American Power Association" in Orlando and was registered in FL. No such business in FL per sunbiz.org.
Should have an undercover deputy sheriff waiting for the interviewer...
Sounds like a canvass for selling qualified home improvement leads. Fear. Greed. Urgency.
