Once you receive such alluring mails which tells you will get loads of money without any legal hassles etc……………… do not be carried away. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY .Yes yes.. I know when the person turns up physically and shows his passport and other legal documents then you are again made to believe “what’s wrong?”.. But it is not right either. The man in front of you, who claims to be the sender of the mail or the representative of the sender, could actually be a racketeer of economic offences waiting to trap innocent, “greedy” individuals like you. But remember, his passport can be a fake passport and even the *registered papers * that he waves in front of you can also be dubious. Once you start giving your personal financial informations, he notes every minute detail and then either he would tell you to give him some money to clear the registration charges or the customs charges of the airport. But beware……. The Indian Penal Code strictly forbids anyone to play fraud with financial informations of individuals. Similarly the amended version of the Information technology act 2008 also touches upon the points of financial frauds in various sections while dealing with identity theft, cheating by impersonation etc. The fraudulent person is subjected to financial penalties as well as imprisonment.
Hence , do remember , those who are trying to play fraudulent games with innocent individual’s beliefs, can not escape from the clutches of law once caught; and those who feel this is the best way to gain money in a “super fast” way… hold on your monetary appetite. This could be a super fast way to loose all your hard earned savings as well.
