Electric bill scam? Hoi An expat resident by woahdonald

About a week ago, 2 men with yellow hardhats and orange jumpsuits on 1 motorbike pulled up to my gate and tried to get 4.5 million VND out of me for ONE month of electricity. I refused to pay it as I knew it had to be false because my previous ...
