Israel Electric Corporation Warns of Fraudulent Refund Scam Targeting Customers
The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has alerted the public to a recent wave of fraudulent text messages claiming that customers are entitled to a refund. These messages, sent via SMS, include links directing recipients to external websites designed to steal credit card and personal information. The IEC confirmed that these messages are not from the company and urged customers not to click on any links or provide personal details, passwords, or credit card information.
The IEC received multiple reports from customers who mistakenly believed they were eligible for refunds. After investigation, the company identified the incident as a scam attempt to obtain sensitive data. The IEC has reported the matter to the relevant authorities and is actively working to address the issue.
Official communications from the IEC always include customer-specific details and are sent only through the company’s authorized channels. Customers with any doubts are encouraged to contact the IEC’s official service center at 103 or use other official service channels for verification.
