Tata Power DDL Issues Customer Advisory against Cyber Frauds

Tata Power’s Delhi distribution arm Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd has issued an advisory for its customers against cyber frauds using Smishing.

These miscreants have been sending fraudulent messages to customers misusing the company’s name to inform them regarding payment of electricity bills, disconnection or reconnection.
 
The company said that it had never asked its customers to call any unknown number or download any third-party app for such activities. 
 
Moreover, it has also lodged an official complaint against these phone numbers and has urged the consumers to beware of such fake SMS/calls as this may also result in financial loss.
 
Any consumer-related information can be verified on the company’s official website or simply by calling its toll-free number 19124 / 1800-208-9124. The company has also requested the general public including its consumers to report such malpractices with the name of the company by calling 011-66757966 or by sending an e-mail to consumer care.

For billing-related details, or any queries and complaints, the customers can also use the company’s official mobile app.
