Scam Alert: Fake Electricity Bill Messages in Hyderabad
People in Hyderabad are being warned about a new scam involving fake electricity bill messages. Scammers are sending messages through WhatsApp, claiming that electricity will be cut off unless the user pays immediately. These messages often contain fake payment links or ask for personal bank details.
The Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) has issued a public alert. They are asking people not to share personal information or respond to these messages. TGSPDCL made it clear that they never ask for bank details through WhatsApp or any unofficial channels.
TGSPDCL also stated that they do not disconnect power supply at night, which is something the scammers falsely claim to scare people.
To stay safe, TGSPDCL is urging customers to pay their electricity bills only through their official website or mobile app.
If you have any questions or suspect a scam, you can contact TGSPDCL by emailing customerservice@tgsouthernpower.org or calling 1912. Stay alert and protect your information.
