ANY call that comes to my phone unsolicited is potential scam. Yes CL&P have alternate electricity suppliers; but only a fool would switch based upon an unknown caller. If you want to compare suppliers go to the CL&P web site for the rates, links, and info on how to sign up.

This number just called, listed as "Service Customer". I let it go to voice mail. The message was a recording about "the rate reduction mentioned on your electric bill".
This number just called. CID said "Service Customer." Asked for my CL&P account number. Must be a scam when i pressed her with questions and she hung up. Did not identify herself except mentioning something about a rate reduction and saving money and Choice Energy or something. Does anyone have any more information on this. Is it a scam? Other reports?
It might be a scam, but it's unlikely. Connecticut has about ten alternatives to CL&P and UI. They each vary in Terms and conditions. They all will save some money -- nothing dramatic. Unraveling their various offers requires an accountant. They will give you a low initial rate. One key might be when that rate goes up and by how much. But it's legit, if it is what I think it is. You probably can get a run down on one of the State of Connecticut sites.
