Public cautioned against bogus cash awards SMS

The Crime Investigation Department of the Police has advised the people not to believe and respond to bogus SMSs sent by unknown persons promising cash transfer. The Additional Director General of Police (law and order) and spokesperson S.A. Huda in a press release here on Tuesday said that in the recent past many SMSs are being received by the public stating that recipients of the message will get 10 lakh pounds and they are asked to part with details of account number, address for further information. The messages are very tempting and the public innocently send their details to the sender and get cheated. They are also remitting certain amounts as demanded by the sender. Sometimes, they were using the names of RBI, Coca-Cola and other organisations. Mr. Huda said this was all bogus propaganda and nothing but cheating the innocent people.
