With an advertisement spread on Facebook, a fraud group has been alluring people to buy Premio NF5 model phones of Walton at half the price. For this, they showed the offer from ‘Walton Bangladesh’ page. But the buyers are being lured into their own websites using fraudulent advertisements on Facebook.
Using logo of Walton, this domain was purchased as .cam in place of .com. Again, a reputable financial mobile service is being used to accept the payment of this offer.
In the month of cyber security, thousands of such mischief are going on without the attention of the authorities. The Cyber Crime Awareness Foundation (CCA) is working to prevent this and to inform the general public. This voluntary organization is already informing everyone about the faulty the offer.
It has been reported that this activity is being conducted from Dhanmondi 7 in the capital. And this fake domain was bought on October 10 in the name of Best Zone Center.
Asked about this, Augustine Sujan Barai, Additional Director, Media Branch, Walton, told Digibangla that the matter has come to their notice. They have taken steps to take legal action against the miscreants.
