The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) is warning the public to beware of scam groups impersonating PEA officials or employees. These fraudsters call citizens claiming there are unpaid electricity bills or demanding backdated payments, then pressure victims to transfer money immediately or use unverified channels. PEA emphasizes it has no policy asking customers to transfer money into personal accounts of alleged staff or conduct transactions through individuals claiming to be employees. The authority urges people not to believe such calls, never disclose personal or financial information, and never transfer money. For verification, contact the local PEA office or call the 24-hour PEA Contact Center at 1129.
