NBR warns of scam using chairman’s identity on fake WhatsApp account

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has warned
the public about a fraud ring using a fake WhatsApp account impersonating its
chairman to demand money from individuals.
In a press release issued today (16 April), the
NBR said the scammers opened a WhatsApp account using the chairman's name and
photograph with the number +8801618-603328. The group has reportedly been
contacting people and attempting to extort money.
The authority noted that the same group had
previously used similar fake WhatsApp accounts to target individuals with
fraudulent requests.
The NBR urged its officials, employees, and the
general public to remain cautious and avoid responding.
