The Rewari police have issued an alert about fraudulent websites and messages claiming to process life certificate updates, urging citizens to verify authenticity.
Rewari police in Haryana have cautioned the public about a surge in online frauds that pretend to be official life‑certificate update services. The scams typically appear as SMS alerts, emails or fake web portals that request personal details and a nominal fee to “process” the update.
Officials said the perpetrators exploit the mandatory life‑certificate submission required for pensioners, using the pretext to harvest sensitive data. They have urged citizens to avoid clicking on unsolicited links and to confirm any request through the official pension department’s website or helpline.
The police have instructed anyone who receives such messages to forward them to the local cyber‑crime cell and to file a complaint if personal information has already been shared. Continuous monitoring and public awareness are being emphasized to curb the growing menace.
