Lorraine is grieving her father when she receives a letter claiming to be from Florida Power & Light notifying her to contact them. A kind "operator" named Anna walks her through the process of switching the account from her father to setting up a new one in her name and paying a deposit. A few weeks later, a notice from the real Florida Power & Light arrives in Lorraine's mailbox and she realizes Anna wasn't who she said she was. The criminals have gotten away with the $300 deposit, and the information they have stolen is much more valuable.
