Scam Alert: CL&P Says Not Offering Rebate

Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) has issued a warning to their customers about 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 from an unsolicited caller, CL&P said do not provide personal information such as an account number or Social Security number, 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.
