National Grid Scam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have been notified of instances where individuals claiming to represent National Grid are contacting customers by phone, insisting on immediate payment for their utility bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, they are pressuring customers to make over-the-phone payments for the replacement of old meters with new smart meters. These callers threaten customers with service termination within hours if immediate phone payment is not completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
