Fake Billing Scam
Scammers send fake text messages pretending to be from utility companies, mobile operators, or subscription services. They claim that your bill is overdue and demand immediate payment to avoid service disconnection. These messages often include malicious links to fake payment pages.
How to Identify this Scam
1
Lack of specific details: no mention of the connection number or a bill reference
2
Pressure to act quickly or risk having your account disconnected
3
Payment URLs that are shortened or do not match the company’s official website
What to Do
- Do not click on suspicious links. Always check your actual bill on the official website/app or call the verified customer support number.
