An email circulating online claiming to be sent from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is asking people to pay a credit fee under ‘Donation Program 2026’ or to receive compensation payment for winning a lottery. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check team in a social media post on X (erstwhile Twitter) said that the message is fake and the RBI is not running any such scheme.
According to the PIB Fact Check, the email is a part of a phishing attempt aimed at cheating people and stealing money or sensitive financial information from them.
