fake mails and frauds increasing

 

Dear friends, The menace of getting fake mails has increased. I understand after talking to the people from whom weare getting the fake mails, I understand that many of them have fallen for the tricks of some people who asked their personal details claiming that 'they are verifying the accounts and they are from Yahoo, hotmail etc.' I also understand from some experts in software industry that they can get generated by a virus also. Today I received fake mail that he is looted in UK and he needs money immediately and help is necessary. Hence, this is to share the information and suggesting you to be alert.  Apart from 'not falling prey to some tricksters' and 'keep changing the password regularly', if there is anything that we can do to prevent such problems, the experts may kindly share the information.   Another fraud is taking place as follows: We get calls claiming that they are from a particular Credit Card team. They keep asking you some details. Even if we say 'we are not interested', they keep persisting over the pretended marketing call. Today, I received a phone call saying that they are from Standard Chartered Bank team and they are promoting an insurance policy to safeguard 'loss of credit / debit cards' and 'misutilisation to an extent of 20 lacs by those who have stolen the card / password' etc. Even after saying 'not interested' he persisted to say that they will give a trial period and I should give the numbers of all the credit cards and debit cards. I think that will be the end of the life of the person. The number is noted. But, how to report and get it verified whether it is from their team is an involved work; but, I am doing it.    I thought it would be benefitial to share such information and getting alerted.   ముందస్తు నూతన సంవత్సర శుభాకాంక్షలు. శ్రీఖరనామ సంవత్సరమంతా మీకూ, మీ కుటుంబ సభ్యులకూ, భగవంతుడు ఆరొగ్యాన్నీ, ఆనన్దాన్నీ, సుఖ సంతోషాలనూ ప్రసాదించాలని కోరుతూ, మీ  Venu
