I received an email today , exactly as above , then got another later purporting to be from Metering Services Ltd , stating I owed $304 from Dec last year .
Had the correct address, from a year ago ,
but totally different account/customer number and the power account is in joint names but email only had my name on it
I am assuming that this is a scam but wondering if others have had similar emails
Thanks Greg Stewart

Health and Bylaws Manager, Reiner Mussle says Kensington Park seems to have been one of the worst areas in our District for leavings.
“Kensington Park is actually a dog restricted area because it is used by hundreds of children and adults for team sports each week. As we move into Alert Level 2 sports may resume, so it’s important that our sportsfields and parks are ready to use.”
Mr Mussle says dog owners who don’t remove their dog’s faeces from public places and dispose of it appropriately may face a fine of $300.
