A police officer just dropped off our water bill (lemmy.world)

We have lived here for the last 10 years. We always pay our water bill. Occasionally, we'll forget and receive a final notice for our water bill which we will promptly pay.

Tonight at 8 pm, a city police officer banged on our door with a blinding flashlight in hand. Made me verify my identification and then handed me my water bill (the due date being a week from now)

What the hell!

You sure the cop was real? Almost sounds like a scam where a fake cop intimidates you in paying a fake bill

My first thought too lol

But if it is a scam the dude put a ton of effort into it with a complete uniform and a cruiser with the correct city livery and accessories just to hand me a complete and correct water bill that matches their weird card stock they use

It would be a pretty impressive scam for a town with a population of less than 4,000

maybe the bill is fake and it goes to his donut fund

Well, I'm paying in person at city hall so they're going to have to give it to him
