The Hyderabad Police have issued a stern warning about fraudulent messages and links circulating on WhatsApp and SMS related to the ongoing cooking gas (LPG) cylinder shortage. According to officials, cybercriminals are attempting to trick citizens by offering emergency deliveries or extra cylinders in exchange for advance payments. The Police Commissioner clarified that any message requesting money for LPG delivery is a scam. Citizens are advised to book cylinders only through official agency apps or websites, including IndiGo Gas, Bharat Gas, and Hindustan Petroleum. Authorities emphasized key safety measures: do not click on suspicious links, and never share OTPs, UPI PINs, or bank details with anyone. Anyone who falls victim to such scams should immediately call the 1930 helpline or file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Police urge residents to remain vigilant to avoid falling prey to these cyber frauds.
