Hyderabad: Unknown persons allegedly spoofed the mobile phone number of the newly-elected Malkajgiri MLA, Marri Rajashekar Reddy, and resorted to threatening several Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders over the phone.
BRS Neredmet Corporator K.Meena’s husband, Upender Reddy, has filed a complaint with the local police. The cops have booked a case for impersonation and threatening and took up investigation.
The targets of these threats extended beyond Neredmet to include corporators in Alwal, Gautham Nagar, and a former corporator of Malkajgiri.
Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted on the caller ID display to disguise their identity. Scammers often use neighbor spoofing so it appears that an incoming call is coming from a local number, or spoof a number from a company or a government agency that you may already know and trust.
