Avoid Bill-Pay Scams
- Never send money to a personal MoMo because someone “works at ECG”
- Screenshot confirmation codes from your payment app
- If account number is wrong, you may credit another customer — double-check digits
When the Bill Looks Wrong
- Note the meter / account number on the bill
- Compare previous consumption if you have old bills
- Ask ECG customer service through published contacts — not Facebook comment sections
