Amul Gift Voucher Scam: Rs 6,000 Gift Voucher An Online Scam; Dairy Company Warns Customers
New Delhi: Amul, one of India's biggest dairy brands, has recently warned customers about a scam spreading on WhatsApp and social media. The scam uses the famous Amul Girl mascot and the company's logo to make fake messages look real. These messages claim that customers can get gift vouchers, sometimes worth Rs 5,000 or Rs 6,000, by clicking on a link or completing a survey. However, these links actually lead to dangerous websites that can steal your personal and financial information.
Amul has made it clear that these vouchers and offers are not from them. In their official statement, they explained that the links in these messages are autogenerated and take people to fraudulent websites. Amul has already blacklisted many of these harmful links and is taking legal action against those behind the scam. The company has also provided a toll-free customer care number (1800 258 3333) and an email address (customercare@amul.coop) for anyone with questions or concerns.To protect yourself, Amul advises everyone not to click on any suspicious links, even if they appear to come from friends or family. If you receive such a message, you should inform the person who sent it to you about the scam, so they do not fall for it either. Amul also encourages people to spread awareness about this scam to stop it from reaching more people.This incident is part of a larger problem of online fraud in India. Scammers often use the names and logos of well-known brands to trick people, taking advantage of their trust. In the past, Amul has faced similar issues, including fake websites offering jobs or dealerships and even AI-generated fake product images. The company has had to go to court to block fake websites and continues to fight against online fraud.Amul has urged everyone to be cautious, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and report any fake messages.

Madhya Pradesh CM's convoy comes to a grinding halt after cars are refuelled with ‘water-mixed' diesel
According to officials, when the drivers switched on the ignition after refuelling, a few vehicles stopped at the petrol station itself, while a few others stopped over the next 500 metres. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav was on his way to Ratlam for an event on Friday. The vehicles in the convoy—mostly Toyota Innovas—stopped at Shakti Fueling station located near Dosigaon village on the Indore-Mhow road about 10 kilometers short of the Ratlam collectorate. These cars were carrying the chief minister's staff. Bhopal: There was major embarrassment for Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, when on Thursday night, 19 cars in his convoy suddenly came to a halt—because they had been re-fuelled with allegedly adulterated diesel. Private vehicles were quickly arranged for the officials who were in the cars that had broken down, while officials from the Food and Civil Supplies department were rushed to the spot to investigate the incident. A press note issued by the district administration stated, 'Due to the heavy rain in the district, water seeped into the diesel tank of the petrol pump. Subsequently the diesel filled in the vehicles had water in it, which led to the vehicles coming to an abrupt halt.' Officials inspected the density of the fuel at the pump. About 5,995 liters of petrol and 10,675 liters of diesel have been sealed. Authorities from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) which has a depot at Ratlam rushed to the spot and took three samples of diesel from the petrol pump. The petrol pump has been sealed for now, reports of tests on the samples are still awaited. A case has also been registered under section 3 and 7 of the Essential Commodities Act 1955 against the owner of the petrol pump who has been identified as Shanti Bundela and her husband Hemraj Bundela. Both are residents of Indore. (Edited by Viny Mishra) Also read: With amassed assets worth Rs 500-700 cr, how 'corrupt' ex-RTO constable has sparked political row in MP
