Fraudsters were found to be using the names of a High Court judge and the Chief Principal Commissioner of Central Tax to run an Amazon gift card scam.
High Court Registrar (Administration) M.C. Chandrashekhar Reddy, on behalf of HC Judge B. Veerappa, filed a complaint with the Central Cybercrime Police asking them to track the conman who, posing as the judge, was trying to cheat people by offering gift card vouchers .
Based on the complaint, the police have registered an FIR against the unknown person on Saturday charging him under Section 66C (fraudulently or dishonestly make use of the electronic signature, password or any other unique identification feature of any other person) of the IT Act and efforts are on to trace him.
