Reported tactics
- The sender impersonates a power company and texts "power will be cut due to unpaid bill"
- The "within 3 days" deadline manufactures urgency to lure taps on the link
- Some messages are sent from numbers with the +81 country code, possibly via overseas servers
- The link leads to a fake payment page that steals credit-card information
Power companies do not preannounce power cuts by SMS or ask for payment via a linked URL.
How to handle this
Don't open the SMS link
Never tap a link in any SMS claiming a power cut. Delete the message.
Verify with your power company
If you're worried about unpaid bills, check directly through your power company's official website or app.
