The MeECL has warned public of not falling prey to fraud messages on social media stating that their electricity will be disconnected due to non-payment of bills.
In a statement issued today, the MeECL said that the message, “Dear consumer, your electricity power will be disconnected tonight at 9:30 pm from electricity office because your previous month bill was not update. Please immediately contact with our electricity office 7439373035 Thank you,” is fake and public are advised to ignore such texts.
“The MeECL/MePDCL does not issue such messages and public are advised to ignore such phishing messages and not to give details of their Bank Account or KYC etc,” the Public Relations Officer, MeECL said.
