A few months ago we had a power surge at the ranch and it blew up quite a few items.Oven,TV Aircons etc. It was a nice Tv cost quite a bit. Likewise ducted AC and hotwater system. I made a claim (sent in some of the initial quotes)to the power company and got very vague replies. Woud'nt admit liability. Even if it was there fault they would only pay a small per centage etc etc. Everytime I called it was like calling for the first time. Pathetic.Never heard from them again (Like the folk in Toodjay).
I then made a claim to my insurance complany and they were excellent.All covered under "fusion". I got everything repaired and they paid out. I paid the contractors. Sorted. At no time did i mention any dealings with the electricity company to the insurance company.

Then......

Got a cheque for 3k in the mail yesterday from power company. Apologies about the delay etc. Been terribly busy they mentioned.And said if I sent in the other receipts they would pay a similar per centage towards them too.

I'm torn.

I know its wrong. But its like free money!!!! Its a nameless faceless organisation and they did give me (small) run around!! Those power bill hikes too..

Should I commit grand fraud???
