The number of people who choose to make online bill payments has decreased after a continuous increase in cases of fraud targeting electricity consumers. According to the department’s data, only 20 percent of consumers are now opting for online payment methods, which is a significant decrease compared to previous numbers.
This decline in online bill payments can be attributed to the increasing incidents of fraud and scams targeting electricity consumers. Many consumers have become wary of making online payments due to the risk of being scammed or their personal information being compromised. The fear of falling victim to such fraudulent activities has resulted in a decrease in the number of people choosing this convenient payment method.
The department has raised concerns over the decreasing trend in online bill payments and has started taking measures to address the issue. They are working on improving the security measures for online payment platforms to ensure the safety of consumers’ personal and financial information. Additionally, they are also conducting awareness campaigns to educate consumers about the precautions they should take while making online payments.
It is important for consumers to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions while making online bill payments. They should ensure that they are using secure and trusted payment platforms and avoid sharing personal information with unknown sources. By being cautious and informed, consumers can protect themselves from falling victim to fraud and continue to enjoy the convenience of online bill payments.
