Advisory On Fraud Calls

It has been brought to the notice of the High Commission of India that some fraudsters are spoofing Mission’s emergency contact number (+60122036900) to make calls aimed at cheating people. These fraudsters either seek personal information or attempt to extort money from Indian nationals by threatening punitive actions on account of certain errors in passports, visa forms, immigration forms etc. which could be rectified by payment of money.

2. This is to confirm that no official from the High Commission of India makes any telephone calls seeking personal information from any Indian or foreign nationals. In case any additional documentation is required from an applicant, it is sought through official email ids of the Mission.

3. The High Commission of India hereby advises members of the public not to entertain any suspicious telephone calls made in the name of High Commission of India and not to reveal any personal information or transfer any money in response to such calls. They may bring such matters to the notice of the High Commission at the email ID: fscons.kl@mea.gov.in.
