HYDERABAD: The crime investigation department of the police has advised people not to respond to fraudulent foreign money transfer offers sent by emails. In a statement here on Monday, additional director-general of police (CID) SV Ramana Murthy said there was an alarming rise in the number of Nigerian fraud and foreign fund transfer cases, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, and appealed to people not to respond in any manner to such fraudulent offers from abroad in the name of lottery forms."Public should immediately delete such mail or SMS, and lodge a complaint with the local police or cyber crime authorities,’’ he said.The fraudsters send attractive offers to gullible public through emails and SMSs and, to lend credence to such offers, the communication is sent on the letterheads and websites that appear to resemble officers of some public authorities like the Reserve Bank of India and which are apparently signed by top executives of such authorities.Ramana Murthy said the RBI clarified that it did not undertake any type of money arrangements and it did not take any responsibility for recovering money towards such bogus communications.
