I knew this caller was a scammer since she said she was from the National Grid which I know is a generic term. Besides my building does not even have metered gas/electricity so when she told me it was about my account, I knew it was a scam artist.
Anyway, to play along with her. She told me it was about problems with my gas bill. I thanked her profusely and said she called at a great time. I had just eaten some burritos for lunch and had lots of excess gas. Then she said "No sir, it's about your gas bill". I said "Ma'am, don't worry about the bill as I understand that if I had excess gas from eating burritos that I should be charged. Besides my roommates won't even talk to me anymore." She kept on insisting that she wanted to talk about a gas bill and I kept on repeating that I had burritos for lunch. I then offered to put the receiver next to my butt if she wanted proof of my excess gas. She then hung up. Don't think she'll call again
