As several fraudulent messages have been circulated on social media in the name of the Income Tax Department, it warned the income taxpayers to beware of such messages.
Some other fraudsters are asking to send money to process the prize money. Thus, they are duping people. PIB Fact Check cautioned against such fraudulent and fake messages in this context.
Since the messages are circulating under the name of the IT department, many taxpayers believe them and share their personal details, which fraudsters may misuse.
In this context, the IT department warned the citizens to beware of such messages. In recent days, many fake messages and emails have been circulated claiming that the recipients won a lottery. They are asking to share the personal details of recipients.
