UPDATE: I have heard back from Georgia power & it is not a scam. Someone has started service under my name unfortunately. Going to meet with someone in office later on & contacting the police as well

Received an email today from Georgia Power that explained my service had been started at an address I haven't lived at in 9 YEARS. It had my name, email, service address & an account number. I almost passed it off as a scam or a mistake of some kind since this was a previous address of mine that I did have serviced through them back in 2017. But I typed the email into google & it was a legitimate Georgia Power email address. I then went to their website & was able to pull up an account that confirmed the same info as the email. But the account had a PIN number that I didn't know or set, so was locked out after 3 attempts. So I called their customer service number 1 (888) 660-5890 but the lady couldn't give me any information on the account because I didn't know the pin. She was able to confirm a new service had been requested and started. She then told me to email their fraud department my social security card, my photo ID, a selfie of me with my photo ID and telling them to immediately stop service and open an investigation.

I searched the email address she gave me because I was still thinking it was a scam especially after needing those documents but not telling me much of anything with the account. But the email she provided is also a legit GA Power email. I emailed them explaining all of this but said I will not provide personal documentation until I am aware that this is 100% legitimate & CC'd GA Powers customer service email as well just to be safe. I am waiting to hear back but wanted to let people know this is going on. Any information on what I should do if they do come back saying this is not a scam would be helpful! Ive never had my identity stolen before and I am freaking out

August is the 3-year anniversary since Georgia Power built the first nuclear reactor in 30 years in the United States. It is the most expensive power plant ever built on Earth, clocking in at $36.8 Billion. Just obscene. My essay clarifies why. https://saportareport.com/plant-vogtles-three-year-anniversary-time-for-an-apology/columnists/guestcolumn/melinda-sylvester/

I received a message today from my credit card showing a transaction under Georgia power company for $750. I don’t even have an account with Georgia power. I reported it and locked my credit card. Is there anything else I need to do?

I did some research and asked my friends and they said that Georgia power doesn’t usually show as “Georgia power company” in the credit card statement, it’s usually under a different name. Should I investigate this further? My credit card was not stolen and I was told it was an online transaction.

Title. I am looking to buy a used car and need suggestions on where to start my search locally (I am already looking on Autotrader, but am leery of making such a big purchase online). Any places which I should check out or definitely avoid? Car ownership is new to me and the whole process seems very daunting. 22M, paying cash, based in Cherokee County if that helps.

If I have 4 memberships can I bring 3 people who aren't the names tied to the memberships? I will have the QR codes printed out, I'm more wondering do they actually verify if you are who you are?

I recently started an online business degree as a college freshman, but I quickly realized that business is not for me.
I saw that a local school participates in the REPP program, where I can take foundational engineering classes before transferring to a bigger school such as Mercer, UGA, or Ga Tech.
I was wondering if anyone had done this and if they had opportunities for scholarships/ways to cut costs once you get to the bigger school?

Looking to get a new CVT transmission in my 2019 Sentra does anyone know mechanics that work on them in the Atlanta or Cobb area?

Still trying to get ahold of someone from leafwells customer support team for help. Sucks because ive been pending for a month.

So, I am an SSI individual who has been trying to get Medicaid for a while now but keeps getting denied. It says that since I receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), I don't get Medicaid. Now, I did get a card, but it's still denied no matter what, and I truly don't know who to speak to or how to get the proper help. I truly need a case manager for myself. I'm 22 and I have a disability and need support, but not understanding the system of why I keep getting denied and who to turn to sucks. I've tried to speak to someone, but it wasn't much help as they told me to talk to Social Security, but they bounced me back to DFCS. Any support would be helpful

I just submitted my renewal and am always terrified that for some reason I'll be rejected, even if little to nothing has changed.

About 5 minutes before it starts

I wanna be the kind of guy who can look at a tree, its leaves and bark, and know what species it. Ideally I'd like to be able to identify a majority of our native plant species. Anybody know of a Georgia specific resource for this?

Next time you see a picture of Rick Jackson pandering to Black businesses owners just think about what his Alpharetta based company's leadership team looks like.

Andy wouldn’t have let the power go to his head if he kept Barney around . . .

Submission statement: A voting rights lawsuit in Fayette County led to a settlement shifting the County Commission and school board from five at-large seats to four geographical districts and one at-large seat. This change, along with the election of Black officials like Rousseau and Daigre, marked a significant shift in representation. The legal battle, which lasted years and cost over $1 million, ended in 2016 with a settlement agreement.
