With online fraud cases where miscreants pose as electricity officers continuing despite repeated warnings, the Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) on Wednesday filed a complaint with the Cyber Economic and Narcotics Crime Police Station (CEN).
Many incidents of these fraudsters sending bill payment related text messages (SMS) to Bescom customers and conning them of money have been reported in the last few weeks.
The target of these fraud cases has mostly been IT employees who were asked to pay the electricity bill immediately to avoid disconnection of electricity through a fake link. Bescom has issued several media ads, and run campaigns on social media asking the customers to not pay any heed to such messages and not to share OTPs or any other personal details or send money.
