In a shocking development, fraudsters have tried to dupe people of their hard-earned money by masquerading as Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi. At least 4-5 people in Zee Business’ Delhi and Mumbai offices received WhatsApp messages from unknown international number with photograph of Anil Singhvi, demanding money.

The number appears to be of Dubai. One such message was sent to Kushal Gupta, a colleague of Singhvi.

This is what it said – “Good Morning Kushal. Let me know if you’re on duty today… I need you to run a a quick task for me immediately kindly send a chat back as I’m currently busy having a zoom meeting at the moment…??”.

Similar messages were sent to other colleagues as well.
