Uncertain about the authenticity of payment reminder texts? Recently, a person named Zhan received a fraudulent text pretending to be from Taiwan Water Corporation, stating an overdue water bill of NT$395 and threatening to cut off the water supply if not paid immediately. The text included a suspicious shortened URL link, leading to a phishing webpage where the individual unknowingly disclosed their credit card information and lost NT$60,000. Similarly, a scam group impersonated Taiwan Power Company to send fake electricity bill reminder texts, using a similar phishing tactic. In response, the Taiwan Water Corporation and Taiwan Power Company have implemented the '111 code message' policy, ensuring that official messages are sent from the government's exclusive SMS platform using the code '111.' They advise the public to verify that any received texts with the code '111' are genuine. Legitimate payment reminder texts from these companies do not contain shortened URL links. If you receive any suspicious texts (from unknown numbers or international codes like +63), remain vigilant and do not fall for scams. The Criminal Investigation Bureau reminds the public that if they receive any notices claiming unpaid water or electricity bills, they should verify with the service centers or call the customer service hotlines listed on their bills (1910 for Taiwan Water Corporation and 1911 for Taiwan Power Company). If there are suspicions of fraud, individuals can also contact the anti-fraud hotline '165' or visit the 'Ministry of the Interior National Police Agency's 165 Anti-Scam Website (https://165.npa.gov.tw/)' for guidance on blocking scam texts. If unfortunately scammed, immediately call the '165' hotline and report the incident to the police for assistance.

FTNN News Network - June 24, 2024, 8:01 AM. Taiwan's Formosa Plastics Group Mailiao coal-fired power plant is set to decommission Unit 1 in June, and Units 2 and 3 in September of this year and October of next year. The Nationalist Party questions why the government, which claims no power shortage and advocates a non-nuclear homeland, will extend the service of the coal-fired Mailiao plant to fill the gap left by the decommissioning of Nuclear Plant No. 3. This move raises concerns about possible increases in electricity prices and potential impacts on various sectors due to the government's energy policy. They urge clarity from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government. The DPP government is criticized for relying heavily on coal power despite aiming for zero emissions by 2050. The decision to extend the Mailiao plant's service aims to compensate for the power gap left by the decommissioning of Nuclear Plant No. 3, indicating potential future electricity price hikes and financial losses for Taiwan Power Company. The Blue Committee questions why the Mailiao plant, known for its environmental impact, is extended despite claims of no power shortage.
