Panaji: State Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho has been targeted by cyber criminals who have created their fake profile on WhatsApp asking money from the people.
In a message posted on his social media handle on Wednesday late evening, Godinho said that that a false message has been circulated using his name and image on WhatsApp requesting money through an Amazon Pay E-Gift card.
“This message is fraudulent, and I strongly condemn such malicious activities,” he said.
The minister said that an official complaint has been lodged with the Vasco police, and the matter is under investigation. “I urge everyone to remain vigilant and not to engage with any suspicious requests,” he said.
