Fact check: Received an SMS that KBC is offering Rs 25 Lakh as Lottery prize?
New Delhi, Apr 29: A new WhatsApp scam has emerged, and scammers have once again resorted to the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) jointly organised by KBC and Reliance Jio for duping people.
The fraudsters are trying to scam people through phone calls, text messages and emails claiming that they have won Rs 25 lakh in a lottery scam.
The scheme-scam sent messages to huge count of people and made promises to reward "winners" with ₹ 25 lakh.
However, when the government's fact-checking arm Press Information Bureau (PIB) conducted a fact check, it found out that it was a fake scheme and the government has no connection with it.
फोन कॉल, ई-मेल और मैसेज पर धोखेबाजों द्वारा यह #फ़र्ज़ी दावा किया जा रहा है कि प्राप्तकर्ता ने ₹25,00,000 की लॉटरी जीती है। #PIBFactCheck
