Beware of fake messages for Covid-19 vaccination

Mumbai Police Campaign:
A Dose Of Danger
There is no government website registering citizens for COVID vaccine.
Only frontline healthcare workers are being vaccinated in the current phase.
So if you are not one & someone offers you the ‘vaccine’, know that it’s a fraud.
Don’t take the #DoseOfDanger

Mumbai Police is warning citizens via their official twitter handle. Beware and don’t fall prey to SMS you receive for registration of covid-19 vaccination. There are many messages circulating in our country and specially being sent to everyone so that people fall prey and lose their hard earned money. Specially Senior Citizens who aren’t in tune with the technology,

SMS in received which has Covid-19 vaccine information and registration link mentioned. It looks genuine and hence fall prey and click on the link
Post you are guided on a landing page where you are asked to fill your details, i.e. name, age, sex, address, doctors details, bank account details, etc.
After filling this you get a OTP on your mobile
The criminal then calls that particular person to verify the OTP
The person gives away the OTP and then money is stolen from their bank account.
Or they will ask to transfer money online to an account which the person falls prey to and loses money.
