Additionally, if you continue to receive these calls - file a complaint with your state's Department of Public Utilities. In Massachusetts, I'm doing so by contacting the following office:
Department of Public Utilities
One South Station
Boston, MA 02110
Telephone: 617.305.3500
Fax: 617.345.9101
The person asks to speak with the "person in charge of the National Grid electric bill" and then explains that you were overcharged on your electric bill. Then, the person wants to send a rebate check after verifying your information. I didn't get to hear what info the person wanted to verify as I was not the person they thought I was. When I told him I was not that person, he hung up without any further information.
This person has called 3 times in the past 2 days - once yesterday where I said i was not in charge of the bill and they promptly hung up without any further communication, once today where I did not answer and they did not leave a message, and again today when I answered and said I was in charge of the bill.
