Fraud using electricity bill adjustments as bait: cybercriminals posing as fake JEs; police issued alert.

What has the Punjab government announced regarding a discount on electricity bills? Cyber fraudsters have turned this into a new weapon for their earnings. Are you also receiving calls from the electricity board stating that your previous month's bill was higher and is being reduced? If so, be cautious immediately. In Ludhiana these days, cyber fraudsters are posing as Junior Engineers (JEs) of the electricity department and calling people, luring them with the promise of bill adjustments to directly transfer money to their bank accounts.
