Alert: New Scam! Fraudsters are sending phoney bill messages to IGL Gas customers.

24/7/2024,

Scammers are going after IGL gas connection customers in a new scam.

 

Sending people phoney texts is also how this scam operates.

 

The ads assert that if the user doesn't pay their bill on time, they will incur late fees.

Scams and frauds are growing more frequent by the day. We discover fresh scams every day with con artists attempting to steal from the defenceless. A scam involving electricity bills was previously reported to be active, and now a similar scam has surfaced. Customers of IGL Gas Connection are the target of scammers this time. Make sure you read the entire text if you fall into that category.

 

Sending people phoney texts is also how this scam operates. Users of IGL receive phoney emails from scammers. The alerts state that the user has an unpaid debt and that their connection will be disconnected if they don't pay it on time. Scammers provide a phoney customer service number and/or payment link in addition to the message.

Scammers will behave harshly and incite panic if the user calls the customer care cell.

 

 They are instructed to pay the money immediately if they wish to keep their gas connection. When customers panic and click on the phoney links that the con artists give, they commonly lose their money.

 

IGL additionally issues a warning in this regard due to the seriousness of the issue. The tweet on X (formerly Twitter) cautioned, "Be on the lookout for fraudulent calls and messages claiming to be from Indraprastha Gas Limited." These scam artists regularly ask you to download an app or click on links to pay your bills, and they occasionally threaten to cancel your account.

 

How do I know if a communication is genuine or a scam?

 

First off, don't trust any message that seems fishy if you have already paid your payment.

2. Visit only reputable websites to pay your expenses. You should never click on a link that you get through texting.

3. Never download an app under duress.

Consequently, by employing this method to identify the scam wording, you can keep yourself from falling for a con. Be cautious and on the lookout at all times.
