In view of increasing cyber crime cases related to fake disconnection messages sent out by fraudsters in the State, the Haryana Energy Minister Ranjit Singh on Tuesday cautioned electricity consumers against fake messages and links sent out by cyber seamsters. His warning came after several instances of people being conned by cyber frauds came to the fore.
In a statement, Singh said, “No one should fall prey to fraudsters by clicking on fake links. Consumers should be aware of fake messages such as ‘Pay the electricity bill; otherwise, your electricity connection will be disconnected in a few hours etc. I appeal to the general public not to click such links and beware of cyber fraudsters.”
