Who tampers with Eneo meters?
.
Fraud in a broad sense mainly benefits consumers who practice it, and who, in the majority of cases recorded on the field, refuse to recognize their actions. Some will even start smear campaigns against the company.
It can be done by anyone with knowledge of electricity/electronics. Third parties, and sometimes Eneo staff and partner companies are involved in it.
All these malpractices are provided in Article 13 of the Rules of Service and sanctioned by Articles 318 and 319 of the Cameroonian penal code.
In the past 12 months, about 60 fraud barons have been taken to court; given that a baron is an actor who illegally has an electrical network of at least 100 households. More than 10 Eneo staff have been dismissed for their complicity in these illegal networks.
