Scammers Impersonating EAC Employees in Limassol

In recent days, the Limassol TAE has received complaints regarding scammers posing as employees of the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) and defrauding citizens. The perpetrators visit homes, pretending that electrical repairs are needed, artificially create the problem (by turning off the fuse), and then demand money for the "repair". The Police urge the public to be particularly careful and not to pay anyone claiming to be an EAC employee who requests money for work. In case of a suspicious incident, citizens are asked to immediately contact the Police (Limassol TAE at 25805057 or Citizen Communication Line at 1460). The aim of this fraud is the financial exploitation of unsuspecting citizens.
