When disaster strikes, opportunity knocks. Certain personality types will seize any opportunity to run a scam, apparently. Reports of enterprising scam artists, running around offering to turn power back on for a fee, have been popping up in the news since Sunday.

National Grid yesterday warned homeowners in the Worcester area to be on the lookout for fiends posing as utility workers who have hit up customers for as much $2,500 to restore their electricity.

No, it’s not a typo.
