All the posts carried the link where they were asked to register, the link was a blogspot link.
Investigation:
Vishvas News first investigated the link that was being widely shared along with the viral message.
(Vishvas News appeals its readers to not click on any such suspicious link.)
The link consisted of a registration form under Pradhanmantri Ramban Suraksha Yojana.
We clicked to register and the form asked to select a UPI APP and the contact number.
To apply for a government scheme, just the contact details are not enough, a person needs to submit various documents along with an application form.
We then visited the section of the government portal which consists of all the schemes.
We also searched with the appropriate keywords, we did not find any scheme named ‘Pradhanmantri Ramban Suraksha Yojana’.
In the last step of investigation, Vishvas News spoke to Ameya Vishwaroop, Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan Pramukh, Nagpur city. He informed that there is no scheme by the name of ‘Pradhanmantri Ramban Suraksha Yojana’. This is a scam in the name of government scheme.
Vishvas News finally did a background check of the user who shared the post. Vishal Kanoojiya Vishal Kanoojiya is a resident of Khalilabad.
Conclusion: Messages and posts claiming Rs 4,000 will be granted under ‘PM Ramban Yojana’ are fake. There is no such scheme by the government.
