Fake e-mails and telephone calls beware

During last one month I received at least 5 telepone calls from so called insurance department authority.

Someone from call centre asked me about insurance policy details  on behalf of what he called department of  insurance authority,when I asked him head office of authority he confidentally replied "Mumbai"

               It is worthwhile to note that IRDA HO is in Hyderabad.

 

The financial sector of India shall get murkier day by day due to cut throat competition.

 

Here is the esample of fake e-mail on behalf of so called RBI
