Scammers may send emails and messages in messaging apps with fake electricity bill payments, disguising them as official communications from the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
The goal of this scheme is to prompt a person to click a link that leads to a phishing site, where they enter personal or banking information or download malicious files. As a result, scammers may gain access to accounts and bank accounts, and this can also lead to infection of the device with spyware.
Important! The Ministry of Energy does not send consumers electricity bills for payment and does not collect utilities payments. Bills are issued only by electricity suppliers with whom a contract is concluded.
How to protect yourself:
▪️ Do not click on links in suspicious emails and messages;
▪️ Do not enter personal and banking data on unknown sites;
▪️ Verify information through the official channels of your electricity supplier.
