A fraud ring using the names and photos of officials in various education offices to demand money by dangling promises of transfers, appointments, promotions and training is striking again and again. This time, fake calls are being made from a number using the photo and identity of Professor Dr Khan Moinuddin Al Mahmud Sohel, director-general of the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE). Everyone has been urged to stay alert and to refrain from any financial transactions.
The DSHE directorate informed the media of the matter on Thursday (16 July).
The mobile number is 01942-191958.
Earlier, on 6 July, it was reported that a fraud ring was using the names and photos of officials of the DSHE and its subordinate offices to demand money by dangling promises of transfers, appointments, promotions and training. At that time, the DSHE directed all concerned to stay alert.
The related notice said that various fraud rings had recently been demanding money by using the names of officials working in the DSHE and its subordinate offices or institutions, dangling promises of getting done a range of tasks including promotion, appointment, training and transfer. In some cases, information from various sources indicated, the dishonest ring was also demanding money through WhatsApp calls or messages using officials’ photos.
