Don’t Get Scammed from ‘Eversource Collection’ The Way This Victim Did
|
This week a victim in North Canaan was called by “Eversource Debt Collection” and was convinced that he had to pay $350 to keep his power on. The victim purchased a prepaid credit card and paid the suspect. Criminals will frequently demand payment using prepaid debit cards/green dot cards. The suspects are targeting homes and businesses and use fake numbers with local area codes to trick victims into thinking they’re legitimate. __________
