Scammers never stop, even in a crisis. If you receive suspicious calls claiming to be us and asking for immediate payment to avoid service shut-off within the next 30 minutes, hang up. As a reminder, we temporarily suspended collections-related activities, including service disconnections, to lessen any financial hardship brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Listen to Warren Bamford, vice president of security at National Grid talk about this latest scam and how you can protect yourself.
