Embassy call people to be aware of fraudulent calls

Thursday, January 14, 2021

The Indian Embassy in Kuwait once again informed the community members to be aware of scammers calling and pretending as Embassy officials to extract money.

"It has been brought to the attention of Embassy of India in Kuwait that some unscrupulous individuals are calling Indian nationals, posing as Embassy officials, with a view to extracting money. These individuals may, at times, provide certain personal particulars to make their claims sound convincing.

All Indian nationals in Kuwait are hereby informed that the Embassy never requests for any such payments/money transfers, nor for your bank details, nor for money transfers through telephone calls or through unauthorized means, nor will ask for your banking credentials/credit card details etc", Embassy informed in a statement.

Established processes and procedures are in place in respect of various services provided by the Embassy, which are clearly laid out on the Embassy's official website (http://www.indembkwt.gov.in/), the statement added.

All concerned are therefore requested to exercise utmost caution and not to fall prey to any fraudulent attempts. They may report such calls, if any, to Embassy of India at [email protected].
