BELD Warns Customers About Email Password Scam
BELD serves Braintree residents with electricity, cable, Internet and telephone service.
The Braintree Electric Light Department is warning its customers about an email going around that pretends to be from a systems administrator seeking password information.
"If you get the email, please DELETE it, its not from us. We would never ask you for your password. We have blocked the sending database, but you may have received the email before we were able to block it. Thank you," BELD wrote on Facebook.
Below is a copy of the email:
