E-mail spoofing using the domain irda.gov.org

From IRDA: It has come to our notice that certain unscrupulous entities/persons have allegedly attempted to cheat the policy holders of some insurance companies by impersonating as representatives/officials/employees of the IRDA of India (IRDAI) Authority. 

 

They have also created fake login ids like “[email protected]” which looks identical to IRDAI’S official domain “www.irda.gov.in”. The modus operandi of fraudster is to send fictitious offers of large sum of money by email by posing as IRDAI official. Such fictitious offers are made in the name ‘IRDA Government’. 

 

“Insurance Control Authority,  Delhi” etc. While IRDAI is taking steps to curb such activities, the general public is hereby cautioned not to fall prey to such offers. It is also advised that general public and policyholders, in their own interest, should refrain from responding to such offers in any manner and immediately lodge a complaint with Cyber Crime branch of the Police.
