Answering machine picked up. Robocall which said "again please, press one on your phone now to talk to an account representative to receive your discount off your Eversource energy."
Standard moron scammer who calls people in a city with municipal power not Eversource...
Called by +1 (508) 202-1270
Framingham, MA. I picked up, they hung up. It only rang twice. From Internet research I've concluded its another energy alternative scam. Block them!
They leave a message. Their software is too stupid to wait for the beep, so the start of their message is cut off. The message is "... Eversource energy bill. To receive your discount, please, press 1 on your phone now to speak to a friendly account representative. Again, please, press 1 on your phone now to talk to an account representative to receive your discount off your Eversource energy." I googled this phrasing and there is a near identical message for Quito energy instead of Eversource energy.
I call back during business hours (using *67 to block my number). I hear the following, "This call may be monitored or recorded. This number is currently unconfigured."
I checked with Eversource. They confirmed that they didn't call me. If a company wanted to give an existing client a discount, they could just do it; they wouldn't ask me if I wanted it.
So they claim to be Eversource; they aren't. They fail to identify themselves on their caller ID. Finally, they can not be successfully called back. All big red flags saying SCAM.
This is some type of energy SCAM.
Likely they are another provider claiming they are "switching you to a better electric/gas rate". They offer variable rate energy that will likely save you a small amount of money in the short term. They offer rebates that will likely never materialize. At some point the rates will skyrocket without notice. Although you can "cancel anytime" they are near impossible to reach. All they need to switch you is your account number; DO NOT give it to them.
A less likely option is that it is someone phishing for information. DO NOT give any!
