Central Maine Power Warns Customers About Scam

  • Published

Central Maine Power Company is alerting their customers to watch out for people pretending to be CMP employees.

CMP shared some red flags and tips on how to protect your personal information and determine if the person reaching out to you is a legitimate CMP employee.

  • Customers can always call CMP customer service number (1-800-750-4000) to ask our representatives if there is an issue with your account and to verify if the person at your house/calling you/sending an email is a legitimate CMP employee.
  • CMP workers will wear an ID badge and travel in CMP branded vehicles.
  • CMP workers will NEVER ask to see your bill or account information.

CMP will never:

  • Send an employee inside your personal residence to use a computer or other device.
  • Have an employee take a photo of your electric bill.
  • Send an employee to your home to offer a discount, offer a cost-savings program or encourage you to sign up for a service.
  • Ask customers to make a payment with a pre-paid debit card or other non-refundable methods.
