Impostor Posing As Chief Justice Chandrachud Seeks Cab Fare In Con Game

In a shocking display of how bold online scammers have become, a recent incident has taken social media by storm. An individual impersonating the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, targeted Kailash Meghwal, sending a deceptive message that has left many stunned.

 

Meghwal, unsuspecting and trusting, received a message from someone claiming to be the Chief Justice, requesting a modest sum of ?2,500 for cab fare. The message, shared by Meghwal on his social media, detailed an urgent need to cover transportation costs from Connaught Place to the Supreme Court for an important collegium meeting. To add an air of authenticity, the scammer cleverly signed off the message with "Sent from iPad," a familiar signature often seen in legitimate emails and messages from Apple devices.

 

This bizarre scam is part of a growing trend where cybercriminals impersonate well-known figures to prey on the public's trust. The nerve to pose as someone as prominent as the Chief Justice of India signals a disturbing escalation in the audacity of these cyber scams.
