Beware of TEPCO scam text message asking you to pay your bills

I wish i can attach photos to show you. Basically, this is the whole message:

【重要なお知らせ】過去の電気料金の 未払いにより、近々送電を一時停止す る計画です。
(Link to their scam website)

Looks legit, and it even came from the phone number “TEPCO”

I have my bills on automatic debit so i thought my payment declined for some reason. I called TEPCO customer service to ask if i can pay at the conbini and they told me my bill was successfully debited like normal.

I told them the about the text i received and they told me it’s a scam message. Tepco website ends with co(dot)jp and never (dot)com

Stay safe out there everyone.
