Southbury Police and Eversource are cautioning people to some scams and deceptive marketing techniques.  Scammers can be relentless—using new tactics every time they make a phone call. Some can spoof the Caller ID so it shows the Eversource corporate number,  but it’s not them on the other end. Others have used text messages to contact customers.  Tell tale signs of a scam include demanding immediate payment by pre-paid debit card, threatening to disconnect power or asking for a copy of your energy bill.  The Federal Communications Commission received more than 230-thousand complaints of unwanted calls in 2018, and recent data predicts that over half of all phone traffic in 2019 will be scam calls.
