SCAM ALERT:

Eversource is warning customers about scammers posing as utility employees in order to steal money or personal information. Impostors may contact customers by phone, online, or in person, and often threaten immediate power shutoffs unless payment is made on the spot.

Eversource will never demand immediate payment at your door or send a representative out to your home to discuss rates unsolicited. Anyone who does these things is not a legitimate representative of Eversource.

Please do not share your electric bill or personal information with anyone you do not know.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities advises that the only official website to safely compare and shop for energy suppliers in Massachusetts is EnergySwitchMA.gov.

If you feel unsure, do not engage. Close the door and contact Eversource directly using the phone number listed on your bill. If you believe you have been targeted by a scam, report it to your local police department.

Please share this information with friends and neighbors to help keep everyone safe.
