(CMR) An email purporting to be from the Caribbean Utilities Company telling customers there was an error in their last billing statement, which resulted in an outstanding balance, is a scam. CUC said it did not send out the email and asked customers to be vigilant as there has been an increase in phishing emails.

The public is being urged not to click on the link and to delete the email.
