Like
every
year,
as
the
new
season
of
Amitabh
Bachchan
hosted
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
got
announced,
scamsters
have
gotten
active
yet
again.
This
time
around,
they
claimed
that
KBC
is
running
an
online
lottery
on
WhatsApp
messenger.
For
the
unversed,
a
viral
message
was
being
circulated
that
a
lucky
draw
will
take
place
and
the
winner
will
receive
a
lottery
prize
of
25
lakh
rupees.
It
must
be
noted
that
this
was
being
propagated
by
stating
that
famous
personalities
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Mukesh
Ambani
and
even
PM
Narendra
Modi
took
part
in
'KBC
JIO’
lucky
draw.
The
WhatsApp
message
concludes
with
a
contact
number
for
further
details
on
how
to
get
the
winning
amount.
However,
as
one
could
guess,
the
claims
turned
out
to
be
a
hoax
and
the
number
provided
in
the
ad
comes
up
as
'KBC
fraud’
in
Truecaller.
It’s
been
made
very
clear
by
the
show.
Previously
too,
it
was
reported
that
in
2018
a
similar
stint
was
being
carried
in
a
slightly
different
format.
However,
the
Mumbai
Police
quick
to
take
action
when
a
Twitter
user
reported
about
the
scam.
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
has
become
a
household
name
and
continues
to
resonate
with
millions
of
Indians.
Its
popularity
has
never
once
waned
as
the
Amitabh
Bachchan
fronted
game
show
provides
commoners
with
an
opportunity
to
win
big
money
solely
on
the
basis
of
knowledge.
The
12th
installation
of
the
quiz
show
premiered
on
September
28
on
Sony
Entertainment
Television.
