Sajjanar warns public against fake lucky draw scams

City Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar on Saturday cautioned the public against fraudulent lucky draw schemes being promoted by some social media influencers.

Taking to social media, he said certain influencers were luring people with promises of cars, bikes, plots and expensive gadgets, using flashy reels to mask financial



fraud.

With promotions of betting apps coming under scrutiny, these individuals have resurfaced with new tactics in the name of lucky draws, exploiting the hopes of unsuspecting citizens, the commissioner said.

He warned that strict legal action would be taken against those involved, irrespective of their celebrity status or social media popularity.
