Interestingly, it seems the 'real' sewer cleaning company uses a bunch of tech to do their inspections, etc.:

(Which would make it an excellent van for the 3-letter spooks to copy, so not really persuasive either way)

That’s just a display monitor and a small computer. Grandpaarent’s photo had two half racks of data center grade AV equipment.

I wanted to point out that when visiting those sites from Germany (nationalplant.com and the specializedmaintenance.com website) it shows the same unavailable geoblocked message. I wouldn't have recognized it but after opening both links in new tabs on my phone I thought I forgot to open one of the links in this thread and I double-checked it.

Are those fake companies both hosted on wordfence or something? What are the odds, huh?
