This story says a real meter reader will be sporting a:

Shirt and vest with company logo

Or maybe imposters just work for FirstEnergy, who is too cheap to buy uniforms or company vehicles for its meter readers.  In fact, FirstEnergy is too cheap to even hire enough meter readers to come as required every other month.

For this, you each pay $5.00 per month.
