India’s Consul General in New York, Binaya Srikanta Pradhan issued an important advisory April 11, 2025, regarding fraudulent and scam calls being made in the name of the Indian Embassy and Consulates. These fake callers are attempting to gather personal and sensitive information.
“I want to draw your attention to a serious issue of scam calls being made in the name of Consulate or Embassy.
Despite repeated advisories, these scam calls continue.
Let me reiterate, the Consulate or Embassy never issues such calls asking for personal information, passport details, or money.
Please do not share any personal details or any money.
Also beware of unscrupulous agents charging exhorbitant fees.
If you face such issues, contact us on social media or write to us at cons.newyork@mea.gov.in.
Stay Alert. Stay Safe. Thank you.”
Consul General Binaya S. Pradhan
