All of us would have received a text message claiming that we have won a huge sum of amount for our cell phone contact number from a random unrecognisable firm at least once in our lifetime. The text message would ask us to click a link to get the money transferred directly in our bank account. Most of us would not bother about the text, knowing it could be a fake and would refuse responding to it. However, there are cases where people lost thousands and lakhs of their money, while trying to get the money mentioned in the phoney text they received.

In a way of creating awareness to this spam, Tirunelveli Deputy commissioner Arjun Saravanan, uploaded post asking people to be alert. These kind of spams are also taking place through email communication. “As people are glued to their cell phones during this COVID 19 time, the below attached messages are doing rounds again. These kind of texts are 100% fake and people are advised to be safe. If you fail to be alert, you might lose your money. Careful.America doesn’t contain poor people ??” wrote the police officer and created awareness.

The screenshot he attached, showed a woman named as Grace from USA offering help to Indian poor people by donating $3,900,000. Check out his tweet here :

கொரோனா காலத்தில் அனைவரும் செல்போனில் மூழ்கியுள்ளனர். கீழ்காணும் போலி ஈமெயில்கள் மீண்டும் வலம் வர துவங்கியுள்ளது . இவை 100% போலியானவை. மோசடியானது. கவனமாக இல்லாவிட்டால் உங்கள் பணத்தை இழக்க நேரிடும் . கவனம்.அமெரிக்காவில் ஏழைகளே இல்லையா? @CityTirunelveli #fakedonations pic.twitter.com/YKMpUZGnZ2

Many of his followers thanked the police officer for creating awareness. Meanwhile, director Cheran, a three time national award winning filmmaker asked Arjun Saravanan if there is any way to stop or take action against this kind of malpractice. “Not only through email, these kind of texts are reaching our cell phones through text messages as well” Cheran wrote in his tweet.

இந்த மாதிரியான இமெயில்களை தடுக்கவோ அல்லது கண்டுபிடித்து ஆக்‌ஷன் எடுக்கவோ முடியாதா சார்… இமெயில் மட்டுமல்லாது குறுஞ்செய்தியாகவும் போனில் வருகிறது.. விவரம் அறியாதவர்கள் ஏமாற வாய்ப்பு உண்டு. https://t.co/BJ1fLKk7q0

Replying to this tweet of Cheran, Deputy Commissioner Arjun said that it is bit hard to catch those culprits as they are functioning from other states and from other countries. “They are initiating bank accounts and sim card by using the Aadhar cards of innocents. Even if we arrest them, confiscating the money back from them is difficult. Being aware is better” read the reply tweet of the cop.

சற்றே கடினமானது சார். இவர்கள் பெரும்பாலும் வெளிமாநிலங்கள் மற்றும் வெளிநாடுகளிலிருந்தும் செயல் படுகின்றனர். அப்பாவிகளின் ஆதார் கார்டை கொண்டு செல்போன்& வங்கி கணக்குகள் துவங்குகின்றனர். கைதாகும் குற்றவாளிகளிடமிருந்து பணத்தை மீட்பதும் கடினமாக உள்ளது. விழிப்பணர்வே நல்லது. https://t.co/dGBV0fLuCf
