Caller: Scammer Discount Bill Scammers pretending to be from legitimate businesses are cold-calling people and promising savings of 20-40 per cent on their household bills. image of a calculator and bills
The scammers request victims to provide a copy of a bill that’s due, claiming that they are able to offer discounts if you pay through them. The scammer then pays the bill in full and encourages the victim to contact the service provider to confirm this and report back to them. The victim is then directed by the scammer to pay the discounted amount by bank transfer. The scammer then continues to encourage the victim to send them any other bills they may receive to obtain more discounts.
In the meantime, the scammer cancels the transaction they’d made to the provider – leaving their victims out of pocket and the original debt still needing to be paid.

Caller: Azeem/Falak Don't trust the caller, on top of the above-mentioned scam about bill payments they will drag you into discounted loans and ask for upfront payment for releasing the loan. It's a full scam
