Warning customers against fake SMSes or WhatsApp messages about electricity disconnection, electricity distribution companies of Gujarat such as Torrent Power Friday said both customers and the company’s own employees have been receiving fake messages from fraudsters and miscreants.
In an official statement, Torrent Power said, “Over the past few months, there have been an increasing number of reports of fake SMSes and or WhatsApp messages being sent to consumers across the country by fraudsters or miscreants, claiming that the customer’s power connection would be disconnected at 09:30 or 10.30 PM, as the previous month bill was not updated.”
