Scam 1: Loan at 3% Interest
Fake
Companies sometimes “HimGange Association”, “Hindustan Money Solutions”
publish their proposal in reputed newspapers. Generally these fraud
companies offers loan upto 50 lakh at a minimal rate of interest (3%).
Whole plot starts when newspaper subscribers call them for further
details. Usually, a customer associates Pooja / Nisha (other fake names)
will ask callers to deposit minimum 2000 Rs to start the process. Slowly,
they will ask more amounts to complete the file work. Sooner or later
when callers realize that they may lose the money and ask them that they
don’t want any further relation, these companies stop lifting there
calls or other communication. As all these conversations held on
internet, so many people find difficulty in tracking them.
Scam 2: Claim Income Tax Refund
Many
Businessmen get spam mails every day, in which few of them get an Email
for getting their Income Tax Refund. These kind of mails claim to refund
Income Tax in exact figures (35783 Rs / 19237 Rs) or other. Sender
[re-funds.net44@incometaxindia.com] of this
mail will ask you to open some link where you can fill your details.
Once a person enters such links, they got redirected to phishing pages
on Income Tax India website and other reputed online bank websites. Few of
innocent people got trapped in such scams and have lost their hard
earned money. Further this website will show you one or another error

these frauds but all went in vain.

“gov.in”, where in this case mail address has a suffix “.com”, so be
aware before you click any such website.
