Electricity industry warns of scams involving impersonating electricity employees

Việt NamViệt Nam26/02/2025


According to the Central Power Corporation, recently there have been many people impersonating power company employees to scam people.

 

These subjects often call or text via Zalo, SMS to notify people of problems with electricity bills such as: overdue, large debt, or technical errors in the system... asking people to pay the electricity bill immediately, otherwise the electricity will be cut off.

 

They use caller ID spoofing technology so that the phone number appears as the official phone number of the electricity company to increase the reliability of the call and make the victim easily trust; or provide bank account numbers, fake links, payment QR codes designed with the Electricity industry logo for people to access and make payments. If people enter bank account information, OTP codes, or personal information, their money and information will be stolen.

 

Faced with the above situation, Phu Yen Power Company affirms that the Electricity industry does not collect money via Zalo and SMS messages, and warns people not to pay electricity bills via these channels, but only through methods recognized by the Power Company such as banking applications, e-wallets, and the Electricity Industry's customer service app. In case of doubt about a call or message, please contact the Power Company immediately to confirm the information before making the requested payment.
