Gruhajyothi beneficiary's attempt to cheat is active..!

customers who have already received such messages in belgaum are trying to cheat by sending messages. A network of fraudsters is systematically trying to blackmail consumers even before the implementation of one of the state government's ambitious projects, the Griha Jyoti Yojana. These networks were found to be active in sending messages to consumers to systematically deceive them. If the customer pays for such messages, Panganana sathasiddha.

Despite many hurdles, the state government has already announced that it will provide 200 units of free electricity under the Grihajyoti Yojana with effect from june 1. However, some fraudsters who have capitalized on this are sending messages that if you do not pay the old electricity bill of your house, your house will be disconnected. They are sending messages to mobile phones in the name of the office of the electricity supply company to contact them immediately if the money is not paid. Don't believe such messages. If you deposit money thinking that you will be deprived of the Griha jyothi scheme if you do not pay the dues, you are sure to get cheated. Such a case has come to light in belgaum City. It is also being discussed that many people have received such messages. Sanjay of Sadashiva Nagar, Belagavi received a message at 11.06 am on june 1, in which a message was sent saying 'Dear customer Your electricity Will Be Disconnected Tonight 9.30 PM Previous Month Bill Not Updated Please Call electricity Office'.

But the electricity Transmission Corporation has already issued a special notification to create awareness among consumers. Consumers will get the benefit of the Grihajyothi scheme even if they are in arrears of electricity bills. It has also given many information and clarifications regarding the Griha Jyoti scheme, including that the outstanding bill can be paid by september 30. But due to a lack of information about Grihajyoti Yojana, people tend to believe only the messages they receive on their mobile phones. Only those who have paid their electricity bill every month without saving dues are suspicious of such messages.

I am an ordinary person. Current bill…recharged regularly and never missed a month. But I got this message and time... If we also call that number and check, the number is coming as switched off. Therefore, the authorities should take action as this is a gang of fraudsters, said Sanjay, a resident of Sadashiva Nagar.

Hescom is not sending messages about pending bill payments or disconnection. So don't trust such messages for any reason. Belagavi Hescom Superintendent engineer (in-Charge) praveena Chikkadi said that the power processing corporations themselves are already working to create awareness in various ways.
