Flag Shop owner Paul Servos says the scammers, who demand cash to keep the power on, may target small businesses because the person running the operation is not always the one taking care of the books

Paul Servos says a slick-talking fraudster tried to rope him into a scam involving B.C. Hydro, but he caught on to the ruse and hung up before any money changed hands.
