Xcel Energy scam

I got one of those robocalls about Xcel preparing to cut off my energy. It is Saturday; Xcel do not call by phone on a Saturday. So I learn from Xcel's scam alert (pdf).

I looked up the number. It's for a man and a woman under different last names sharing a home in Niwot. Certainly not an Xcel number and, to be frank, it looks spoofed. They are more likely victims of a scam, past and present, than its direct perpetrators. So I shan't be linking the number here.

It has been a rotten morning but, I believe, I've just made it that bit less rotten - by not falling for this.
