Dehradun : Reserve Bank of India Deputy General Manager Rajeev Dwivedi said that the RBI has been consistently warning the general public to be wary of fraudsters, offers of easy money and information about winning fake lotteries. He said that those involved in such rackets contact members of the general public through letters, e-mails, telephone calls and SMS on their mobile phones and inform them about fantastic opportunities like receiving a large sum of money from a foreign country as the winnings of a jackpot of some scheme. In many cases the letters and e-mails are written on such letterheads and from such websites that are similar to institutions like the RBI in order to deceive the receivers about the identity of the sender. In many cases the names of senior officials of such institutions are also fraudulently used along with their forged signatures in such communications to fool the public. The racketeers tell the recipients of their mails to pay money in different accounts in the form of processing fees, transaction fees, tax clearance charge and conversion charge. If a person deposits money in order to pay such fees, the sum is swiftly withdrawn from the account but the person doesn’t receive the promised cash prize.
