>What is illegal about them shutting off the internet and then posing as repair men? Is there actually a law against that?
What do you think would happen if you tried that on the home (or office) of a law enforcement officer? I think you'd end up arrested and charged with something if you got caught; maybe destruction of properly, maybe fraud, maybe home invasion?
> maybe destruction of properly, maybe fraud, maybe home invasion
In this case, there was no destruction of property, just disconnection of internet service. As for fraud, I'm not aware of any fraud-related laws that apply. And it can't be home invasion if you invite me in.
