Do not trust fake phone calls made in the name of Thanjavur Collector
District Collector R. Revathi has warned the public not to believe fake phone calls made by miscreants posing as the Thanjavur District Collector for financial fraud.
Complaints have been received by the district administration that unidentified individuals are attempting to scam the public using phone calls and text messages posing as the Thanjavur District Collector.
In a press release, District Collector R. Revathi clarified that the district collector's office only makes calls from official government landline numbers. Government officials do not ask the public for bank details, OTPs, or financial transactions. Therefore, the public should not trust or fall prey to such fake calls.
Strict legal action will be taken against those misusing the administration's name. The public is advised to report such calls to the police immediately.
