RBI Lottery and Inheritance Emails Are Scams: PIB Alert

India's Press Information Bureau (PIB) has warned citizens against fraudulent emails claiming to be from the Reserve Bank of India offering lottery winnings or inheritance claims. These messages are scams designed to deceive recipients into revealing personal and financial information or making payments. Scammers impersonate RBI officials to appear legitimate. Citizens receiving such emails should immediately delete them without clicking any links or providing information. The PIB advises reporting suspicious communications to relevant authorities. The RBI does not conduct lotteries or send unsolicited inheritance notifications via email. Stay vigilant and verify any official communication directly through RBI's official website or helpline before responding. Source: Business Standard.
