Beware is the buzzword as cons seek to make capital of the festive season. The warning comes from none other than the Mumbai police cybercrime department which is urging people not to fall for frauds disguised as ‘lucky draws’ in the festive season.

The cops have warned that fakes are sending beguiling, too good to be true offers to people as Diwali is upon us. They send scratch cards and letters with names of well-known e-commerce firms, telling people they have won prizes. Scratch and win, you are chosen… are just some of the punchlines that are a lead in, straight into what could be a trap.
