Received calls from "Lisa @ 508-835-5352* offering a 30% discount on our Eversource Electric Bill if we haven’t been late on a payment for the last 6 months", and to "press 1 to get the discount, or 0 to be taken off the list". We do not even have "Eversource" as our Energy Provider. We even pressed "0", but the calls keep coming. *Not in service.

repeated calls from someone saying they were from Eversource , my electric provider, and I might qualify for up to a 30% reduction on my next bill because I had been a customer for a number of years and recieved no form of assistance program to pay the electric. they had my name address and phone. they wanted the account number. i gave it to them and was told i would be called back for confirmation and more info. at which point i smelled a scam. Eversource of course has no info on this on their website and no way to contact customer service after hours to ask. they did call back and i hung up.

A male started his call saying, "CAN YOU HEAR ME" twice. He stated he was an Eversource provider. He stated that for being a good customer for 6 months, I was eligible for a 15% discount for 4 months. He repeatedly asked for my account number.

The caller identifies themselves as a rep for EVERSOURCE Gas & Electric. There is an actual EVERSOURCE recording, but the telephone is false and a scam. The number is 866-978-8273. They request the customer to obtain a GREENDOT Credit Card from the local store and call them back.
