Hyderabad: Nirmal district mein Collector Abhilasha Abhinav ke naam aur tasveer ka use karke cyber fraudsters ne ek Fake WhatsApp Account banaya. Is account se kuch officers aur aam logon ko suspicious messages bheje gaye, jis se tahaffuz ka mahaul paida hua. District administration ne foran police complaint file ki aur public ke liye alert bhi issue kiya.
Chand officials ko Collector ke naam se ajeeb messages mile, jiske baad unhone baqi senior officers se tasdeeq ki. Baad mein pata chala ke kai aur logon ko bhi aise messages aaye hain. Administration ne wazahat ki ke is number ka Collector se koi link nahi hai. Fraudsters logon se paisa nikalne ki koshish kar rahe hain.
Collector office ne public se appeal ki ke kisi bhi unknown message par trust na karein. Apni personal ya financial info kisi ke saath share na karein. Police ne pata lagaya ke yeh fake number Thailand (+66 958518330) se register hua hai. Ab technical evidence ki buniyad par tahqiqat jaari hai.
Collector Abhilasha Abhinav ne kaha ke koi bhi suspicious message milne par foran administration ko inform karein.
Aisa ek waqi’a pehle bhi hua tha jab former Collector Musharraf Ali ke naam se fake account bana kar fraud kiya gaya. Us waqt bhi asli profile picture ka use hua tha, lekin number different tha. Kaafi log dhokay mein aa gaye the.
Dubara isi tarah ka case samne aane se Nirmal mein cyber security par concerns barh gaye hain. Log keh rahe hain ke aise fake accounts sirf government institutions ki image ko damage nahi karte, balkay logon ke personal data ke liye bhi khatra hain.
