Last Updated: 30th August 2024
At “Make in Uttar Pradesh,” your safety and trust are our priorities. Unfortunately, our organization’s name is sometimes misused in fraudulent emails, text messages, and social media communications claiming to represent us.
To help you identify and avoid scams, please note:
- Authentic emails from our organization will always use the domain @makeinuttarpradesh.org.
- Be wary of messages sent from generic email domains like Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail, or suspicious addresses such as @makeinandhrapradesh-jobs.in.
If you receive any doubtful communication, please contact us directly to verify its legitimacy. Stay vigilant and safeguard your personal information.
Fraudulent actors may create fake social media profiles, including on LinkedIn, impersonating our Founder or other key figures. These imposters often send messages falsely representing “Make in Uttar Pradesh” to solicit payments or sensitive information.
Common tactics include:
- False Offers: Messages promoting memberships, participation in events like the “Exclusive Uttar Pradesh Summit,” employment opportunities, or awards and grants.
- Requests for Personal Details: Fraudsters may ask for sensitive information such as passport or bank details.
- Payment Demands: Scammers might request payments via services like Western Union or MoneyGram, posing as official representatives.
Please exercise caution and verify any suspicious communication directly with us before responding or sharing personal information. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from fraud.
Important Points to Remember:
