Ignore This Message from EAC: It's a Scam!

The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) is warning consumers about a new scam incident. Scammers are sending messages to citizens asking for money to install smart meters, which is false. The EAC never charges citizens for meter replacement and the work is assigned exclusively to its own personnel, who carry official identification and use official vehicles. EAC messages never include requests for payment. Citizens are urged to ignore such messages and report the incident to the EAC.
