The bill payment scam continues to haunt consumers of the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom).
Sriram K.V., 56, a resident of Vidyaranyapura, lost ₹1.5 lakh to a man who approached him posing as Bescom staff and stole the money on July 17.
In his complaint, Sriram said that he had received a message from a person claiming to be from Bescom. The person sought an update on the bill payment. The message warned of disconnection of power supply if an update was not submitted.
