🚨 SCAM ALERT Fake Electricity Bill Disconnection Scam 🚨
Brothers, please be careful, today I almost got scammed. I received a message on WhatsApp from someone claiming to be JVVNL saying that my meter reading from last month was not updated and that they would cut the electricity at 10:00 PM tonight. The message said to call their 'bill update officer Mr. Sanjay Sharma.' When I spoke to the scammer, he sent me a file on WhatsApp named "Electricity Bill update.apk." I immediately realized it was a fraud and a way to hack my phone. I blocked him and both his numbers right away. Please everyone be careful. The electricity department never sends such messages on WhatsApp threatening to cut power, nor do they ask you to download any third-party app (.apk). Installing such a file will give them access to your phone and your bank OTPs directly. Make sure to inform your family groups, especially parents and elders, about this. They tend to panic quickly at threats of power cuts and can easily fall into these traps. Be safe!Bhai log thoda dhyan rakhna, aaj mere sath ek scam hote hote bacha. Mujhe WhatsApp par ek message aaya JVVNL ke naam se ki mera pichle mahine ka meter reading update nahi hua hai aur aaj raat 10:00 PM light kaat denge. Usme likha tha ki unke kisi 'bill update officer Mr Sanjay Sharma' ko call karu. Jab us scammer se baat hui toh usne mujhe WhatsApp pe ek "Electricity Bill update.apk" naam ki file bhej di. Main turant samajh gaya ki ye fraud hai aur phone hack karne ka tarika hai. Maine usi waqt usko aur uske dono numbers ko block kar diya. Pls sab log dhyan rakhe. Bijli vibhag kabhi aise WhatsApp par message karke light nahi kaatta, aur na hi koi third-party app (.apk) download karne ko bolta hai. Ye file install karte hi aapke phone ka access aur bank OTPs sidha unke paas chale jayenge. Apne family groups me aur specially parents/elders ko iske baare me jarur batana, wo log aisi light katne ki dhamki se jaldi panic ho jate hain aur inke jaal me fass jate hain. Be safe!
