New Delhi Vishvas Team – A post related to Ratan Tata’s birthday has been rapidly spreading on social media. It claims that Tata Company is offering an 84-day recharge worth Rs 719 to all Indian users on Ratan Tata’s birthday. Vishvas News conducted an investigation and determined that the viral post was false. Tata Company is not providing any such offer, and readers are strongly advised against clicking on any links associated with it.

What’s going viral?

On September 13, a Facebook user named “Shahzad Khan” (Archive) shared the post, stating, “*TATA BIRTHDAY* OFFER Tata Company is providing an 84-day recharge worth Rs 719 to all Indian users on Ratan Tata’s birthday.” The post encourages users to recharge their numbers by clicking on the blue link provided at tatacashback.online. Many users on social media are sharing this with similar claims.

Investigation:

Vishvas News thoroughly investigated the viral claim by examining Tata Company’s official social media accounts. We searched through their Instagram, the official Twitter account, and Facebook page, but we did not discover any posts related to the viral claim.

We also visited Tata’s official website and searched for information regarding the viral claim, but we found no such information. It is worth noting that if Tata were indeed offering a free recharge, information about it would certainly be available on social media and their website. However, we did not find any confirmation of the claim.

We also consulted Kislay Chaudhary, the founder of the Indian Cyber Army, who stated, “This link is fake. Users should avoid clicking on any suspicious links. If Tata were offering such an offer, information about it would be available on their website and social media. Users should verify any such links before clicking on them.”

Since the viral post began circulating in September, we conducted research on Ratan Tata’s birthday. We found that he was born on December 28, 1937, in Mumbai. However, we did not come across any news or posts related to offers such as free recharge on his birthday.

Finally, we examined the Facebook account of the user Shehzad Khan, who shared this link. We discovered that the user had shared the post on a Facebook page called ‘Fashion Hub for Men and Women,’ which has 664 members.
