On July 3, 2018 the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office took a complaint from a local business owner. The owner had received a call which they believed to be from Potomac Edison Electric Company. The Fraudulent Representative informed the owner that they were several months behind on their Electric Bill and a Technician was en route to shut of their Electric Service. The Fraudulent Representative told the owner that they could not use a credit card to make the payment, and explained how they could avoid having the Electric Service shut off by paying via money order at one of two local pharmacies. The Fraudulent Representative even provided telephone numbers for the owner to call back in case they have any questions and would answer the phone “Potomac Edison”. Investigation revealed that the suspects were using “Spoofing” technology to make it appear that the call was coming from Potomac Edison. These callers typically call from other countries to avoid prosecution for fraud.
The chronic has reached critical mass. A new Quinnipiac poll shows the highest number of respondents ever have less and less of a problem with you getting high. Sixty-three percent polled support cannabis legalization, and 93% approve of medical marijuana with a meager 5% opposing. There's no fuzzy math here, it's very straight forward and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his anti-pot crusade are on the losing side of the argument.
