Scam Callers Posing As Town Of Lexington Call About Electric And Gas Bills

Press release from the Town of Lexington:

September 16, 2020

Some Lexington residents have received phone calls that appear to originate from the Town and claim to offer refunds on electricity and gas bills. Caller ID specifically shows “Town of Lexington.”

These calls do NOT originate from with the Town of Lexington.

These calls are an example of fraudulent behavior by a private company. Neither the Town of Lexington, nor Lexington’s Community Choice Program, nor Eversource make marketing phone calls.

We strongly recommend against responding to these calls. In addition, we recommend you protect your Eversource account number like you would a credit card number. Do not provide it to a representative from any company unless you are ready to sign a contract with that company.

Filing a Complaint

If you have received one of these calls and wish to file a complaint, you are invited to do so via the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities online complaint form. Be sure to include the date of the call and any additional information you can provide about the call, such as the caller ID.
