Consumers beware of fake messages: Minister

Sunday, 14 August 2022 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Energy Minister Pradyuman Singh Tomar has said that electricity consumers should beware of fake messages related to disconnection of power connections. Energy Minister Tomar has told people not to fall in the trap of such unknown and clever people and take utmost care.

The company neither asks to contact on any mobile number for payment of electricity bills nor is it advised to download any mobile app other than "Smart Bijli App". Only the defaulting consumers are informed by the company about the payment of the outstanding amount through SMS.

Electricity distribution company has also appealed to its power consumers to be alert and stay safe from such cyber criminals.

It is noteworthy that these days the electricity consumers are receiving fake messages, in which it is being said that due to non-updation of the electricity bill payment made by the consumer last month, the electricity department would cut off the power connection of the consumer's house tonight.

 

 

Along with this, consumers are being asked to contact on a mobile number. On calling this number some consumers are also being pressurized to download a mobile app, so that the device of the subscriber can be remotely under the control of those miscreants.
