It has come to the notice of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) that unscrupulous elements are cheating investors / public using the name of SEBI. These fraudsters are reported to have sent emails impersonating employees of SEBI / posing as officials / posing as official communication channels of SEBI and offer to help investors to resolve their complaints. Often, investors are made to part with money in the name of processing fee, other fees, etc.
