The city police have registered three more cases in connection with the new cyber fraud wherein scamsters are duping people of lakhs with fake electricity bills and warning of supply disconnection. A navy officer from Colaba, a businessman from Malabar Hill and a 21-year-old student of Pune’s Symbiosis International University are the latest victims of the scam.

The Navy officer, who reported the incident to the Colaba police on Tuesday, said he paid the electricity bill of his senior’s quarter at BEST's Colaba office on June 17. However, on June 19, his senior got a message about an unpaid bill and warning of disconnection, he added. The senior forwarded the text to the officer who contacted the sender. He identified himself as Rahul Mishra from BEST’s Kurla office.
