New Delhi (NVI): Few emails, allegedly sent by the Governor of RBI, claim that the recipient has won monetary compensation and is being asked to share personal details to redeem the prize.
The Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has investigated into the matter and states that these emails are fake.
It further stated that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) neither sends such messages nor uses Gmail accounts for communication.
Debunking the fake news, PIB took to Twitter and wrote, “Emails allegedly from the Governor of RBI claim that the recipient has won monetary compensation and are asking for personal details to redeem the prize.
#PIBFactCheck: These emails are #Fake. @RBI neither sends such messages nor uses Gmail accounts for communication.”
