VIJAYAWADA: Fraudsters have started duping people with cloned emails of the IT department and agencies like Paypal.

On Thursday, Mr Kashyap received a mail from admin-1014@incometaxindia.gov.in saying that he has qualified for a tax refund of Rs 27,920.10.

The mail asked him to give his bank details. Fraudsters host the clones of websites. When someone fills their form the data will be sent to the fraudsters and the victim gets an error message to verify the address. After some time the site will be down.
