The show has ended but something new about it is arising. People are reporting fake emails and sms from KBC, I came to know about them by the people commented on a page.
A big scam is on the way to cheat thousands. KBC is a big name when it comes to game shows with big money and many have desire to earn something from them and many won too but when we are talking about scam, people should beware of it and should react smartly with these things.
You get a mail or SMS this morning saying that you have won Rs********* you may find it real and it might look real, the number or email ids can be tricked easily to appear as real on your phone or email profile. Then they will ask you to call a phone number (usually a long number) like 808080505050505457 bla bla.. to claim the money but you won't reach that number ever cause it's made to eat all your phone balance but even if the someone pick ups the call you will be asked to pay ****amount of money for transaction charges, tax etc , this is where you have to show some smartness and don't contact them, because it's a clean sign that you are being cheated and the money you will pay them will all go to the bank account of people spreading this scam.
And it's happening with KBC now, many people are receiving such scam SMS and many don't even try to know the truth behind it and start doing whatever they are told to in greed of money, but in the end you will get nothing, all you will do is regret over what happened to you.
If you have been cheated or know a person who has been cheated, report the case in your nearest police station or a cyber-crime investigation cell, here is a list of cyber-crime cells and their contact details
