Hyderabad commissioner of police, VC Sajjanar on Friday, December 19 cautioned the public against fraudsters claiming to be agents of the Reserve Bank of India and duping people.
The scam involves messages and emails claiming that people have large sums of unclaimed deposits
lying in old bank accounts and can withdraw the money by clicking a link.
In a video message shared on social media, Sajjanar said that cybercriminals are falsely invoking the RBI and its UDGAM (Unclaimed Deposits – Gateway to Access inforMation) portal to gain public trust.
