Anyone pay TEPCO via sms? I vaugely remember paying mine at a conbini but I got a text threatening to cut my power if I don’t pay in 24hrs so I guess not.
I input my card info (after some difficulty) and after hitting pay it loads for a sec then takes me to the homepage. Afterwards, the link doesn’t work until I clear cookies then I can do the whole process over again. Infinitely.
I have no confirmation email and I don’t even see a charge on my card. It is night time and I know Japan is notorious for some systems being manually processed when theyre automated in other countries (like payments) so I was wondering if this is normal and not being able to reopen the link without clearing cookies is some crude method to stop me from trying to pay more than once
Anyone have any experience with this? Seems odd and really, I’d like to /not/ have any downtime of electricity.
EDIT: I have two sms messages. One links to the actual website and makes me pay there, one linked to a payment portal. The payment portal one was a scam and it was a terrible coincidence they showed up around the same time.
