NBR files GD over fraud using chairman’s name

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has filed a police complaint after discovering that a fraud ring was using the name of its chairman to demand money from individuals through fake email addresses.

In a statement issued today, the revenue authority said the group had been sending threatening messages based on fabricated claims in an attempt to extort funds.

The information circulated by the fraudsters is “completely false,” it added.

A general diary was lodged on March 3 with the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in Dhaka.

The NBR urged its officials, employees, and members of the public to remain vigilant and to ignore any such fraudulent communications.
