Looks like Niš has become the stage for a new scam that will make you think twice before opening your door to strangers. The Niš Police Department issued a warning today that two workers from the Electric Power Distribution Company of Serbia (EPS) branch in Niš are suspected of scamming multiple people. How? They came to homes and apartments claiming that the electric meters were damaged and would be confiscated, or that electricity supply would be cut off unless large sums of money were paid. Is this a scene from a bad movie or reality? Unfortunately, this is a reality that can affect any of us.
Just imagine – people who are supposed to help us and provide electricity are now the ones trying to scam us! The police urge citizens to be cautious and report suspicious activities immediately. This is not just a problem in Niš but a warning for all of us. In an era where trust is low, such scams further undermine safety and peace in the community.
While citizens are dealing with this issue, other things are happening in Niš – from free public transport to record water consumption and extreme heat waves hitting Serbia. But this EPS scam is definitely a topic that deserves all our attention. So next time someone comes to your door claiming to be from EPS, ask yourself – is it really so or just another scam? And don’t forget, if you have doubts, report it immediately!
Now, dear readers, what do you think about this? Have you ever had similar experiences? Or maybe you know someone who has? Share your stories because only together can we stop such scams. And yes, if it seems like a scene from a movie, remember – unfortunately, this is our reality. So who knows, maybe next time you’ll be the target of these “workers” with fake meters and fake stories. Stay alert and don’t let yourself be fooled!
