BERLIN, CT - Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) is asking customers to be wary of telephone calls from people claiming to be from CL&P, offering "a $40 rebate," and then requesting that customer's CL&P account number and their Social Security number.
If you receive such a call:
Never provide personal information such as an account number or Social Security number to any unsolicited caller, even if the caller seems legitimate.
Hang up the phone and report the incident to your local police.
If you have any doubt regarding the authenticity of a phone call or visit from a person claiming to be a representative of CL&P, call Customer Service immediately at 800-286-2000 and ask the customer service representative to verify the call or visit.
