It\u2019s your turn now to apply before the last date. You submit yours as soon as possible -translated)” – <\/em>This message was circulated on social media after Narendra Modi was elected as the Prime Minister for a second term. The message claimed that under the ‘Make in India’ scheme, PM Modi will distribute free laptops to two crore youth. According to the post circulating on social media, 30 lakh youth have been benefitted by the scheme so far. The message ends with a link – ‘ modi-laptop.saarkari-yojna.in’<\/em> – where users can register for the scheme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It has been massively shared on WhatsApp, masquerading as a government initiative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Individual users on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter<\/a> have also circulated the same message.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not government website<\/h2>\n

The makers of the website attempted to make it resemble a government website, which is evident because of the use of the words “sarkari yojana”. All URLs of government websites, however, end with ‘.gov’ or ‘.nic’ domain, while the URL of the viral website ended with ‘.com’ and ‘.in’.<\/p>\n

Official government websites use ‘.gov’ while those affiliated to the government use ‘.nic’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Online scamming business<\/h2>\n

Social media claim that two crore youth were given free laptops is false as no official government website validates the announcement. The police’s investigation of the viral message tracked the website to Rajasthan thereby arresting the perpetrator Rakesh Jagir. According to the police, Jagir graduated this year with a post-graduation degree from IIT Kanpur. He purchased the website on May 23 after the election results were declared. He aimed to make money off the scheme and gather users’ personal data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This misinformation was earlier debunked by other media organisations like\u00a0BBC Hindi<\/a>, <\/em>Dainik Bhaskar <\/em><\/a>and\u00a0Aaj Tak<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that also found other such scam websites like modi-laptop.wish-karo-yar.tk<\/em> and solor-panel.sarkaari-yojana.in.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Accessing the link of the message opens up a page that carries the Prime Minister’s photograph in the background. After filling the necessary information, the link redirects users to a form where the following questions are asked – “Have you used this scheme before?”; “Will you inform your friends about the scheme?”\u00a0<\/em>Users are subsequently asked to forward the message on WhatsApp to 10 other friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Recently, other such false messages were also viral on social media, including one related to the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Yojana where it was claimed,\u00a0“13 \u0938\u0947 70 \u0938\u093e\u0932 \u0915\u0947 10 \u0915\u0930\u094b\u0921\u093c \u0932\u094b\u0917\u094b \u0915\u094b 5 \u0932\u093e\u0916 \u0930\u0941\u092a\u092f\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u0928\u093f\u0903\u0936\u0941\u0932\u094d\u0915 \u092c\u0940\u092e\u093e \u0926\u093f\u092f\u093e \u091c\u093e \u0930\u0939\u093e \u0939\u0948\u0964 (10 crore people within the age of 13 to 70 will be given free insurance.)<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<\/em>The attached link asks users for personal information.<\/p>\n
