The Stamford Police Department is warning homeowners to be wary of a recent spate of utility scams involving Eversource.
The department issued an alert Wednesday regarding a fraudster posing as an Eversource employee.
According to police, anyone who receives a call from 1-800-387-1880 from a person claiming to be from Eversource is a scam.
Police say another way to identify the scam is to watch out for calls that appear to be coming from many other numbers.
