The Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) Fact Check Unit has clarified that the survey is fake and is a phishing attempt. PIB said that India Post has neither endorsed nor authorised any such survey, quiz contest, or cash giveaway.
The clarification comes after the fraudulent survey began circulating online in the name of India Post, offering users the prospect of receiving a Rs 20,000 cash prize. The scheme seeks to lure users into participating in the fake survey and sharing their personal information.
The PIB Fact Check Unit has warned that the survey is not associated with India Post and has urged users to treat such claims as fraudulent. The Government’s clarification confirms that India Post has not authorised or endorsed the survey, quiz contest, or cash giveaway.
The warning highlights the need for users to remain cautious about online offers seeking personal information, particularly when they falsely use the name of a government organisation. The fake India Post survey has been identified as a phishing attempt, with PIB making clear that the postal department has no involvement in the purported cash prize scheme.
