ICE Says Not To Accept Its Cheques As
Payment
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad
(ICE) warns that people should not accept
payment by cheques of any kind from the
institution following a series of reports of
fraud by scam artists.
ICE says that it will make payment for
services and goods only by cash or
institution cards to avoid possible fraud by
individuals claiming to be officials of ICE
and using cheques from ICE drawn on state
banks.
ICE says it has received reports from
businesses in San Carlos, Zarcero, Poás, San
Isidro de Peñas Blanas, San Ramón and
Palmares.
It appears that individuals passing
themselves off as ICE officials have been
making purchases and paying for them by
cheque, which ICE has not authorized.
The decision is of suspending all payments
by cheque will avoid any further fraud.
