People need to be vigilant against calls from strange numbers and impersonating electricity employees.

Recently, many local residents have continuously received calls from people claiming to be employees of Hue City Electricity Company, informing them about the suspension of collecting electricity bills through intermediary channels (banks, e-wallets, etc.). From there, they asked people to make friends on Zalo to guide them to download fake applications of the electricity company to scam them. Although this is not a new trick, the sophistication in the approach has caused many people to fall into the scam trap.

The above form of fraud can be easily identified through signs such as: Actively requesting to be friends on Zalo; Calling impersonating Hue Electricity staff; Enthusiastic instructions on downloading "fake electricity applications".

To protect themselves, people need to carefully check the phone number and email of the Electricity industry through the website evn.com.vn and the hotline 1900 1909. At the same time, absolutely do not click on links or download strange, suspicious applications and immediately report to the authorities if you suspect or discover fraud.
