(Bernardston, MA) A Bernardston resident called the number on their Eversource electric bill, only to have someone answer saying they had won a gift card and needed to give their credit card information to process a small fee. The resident realized it was a scam and hung up. They reported the scam call to Eversource and the Bernardston Police Department.
The local Eversource office confirmed the phone number was indeed theirs and that they had multiple reports of similar incidents. Eversource is currently investigating the issue and the Bernardston Police Department reminds the public to hang up if a call seems suspicious as scams get more sophisticated all the time.
