CONCORD — The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission is warning electric utility customers about a recent scam. Customers report receiving calls from individuals claiming to represent the customer’s utility company. The caller offers the customer a 30 percent discount on the customer’s utility bill. The caller may also say that the discount is part of a state program for senior citizens who are not receiving other state assistance. Customers expressing an interest could find that their electric energy supplier has been switched from their utility to another entity without their knowledge and at a higher price.

These calls are not coming from New Hampshire utility companies.
