A 72-year-old retired Intelligence Bureau officer fell victim to a utility scam, losing Rs 7.35 lakhs. Utility scams occur when scammers pose as representatives of legitimate utility companies and trick individuals into giving them money or personal information. Scammers use various methods such as phone calls, emails, or door-to-door visits. To stay safe, never provide personal or financial information over the phone or email, verify calls by contacting the utility company directly, be cautious of strangers asking for utility bills, and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
