Got cheated in name of getting covid-19 medicines oxygen supplies Heres what you can do
The shortage of medical supplies required for the treatment of covid-19 in the country has forced many to rely on informal sources to make the demands meet. While there are many who are genuinely helping the covid-19 affected people and their families, it is upsetting to see that many are manipulating and taking advantage of the covid-19 situation in the country.

These fraudsters are cheating citizens in the name of providing oxygen cylinders, hospital beds and Remdesivir injections. Those in need make payments to the scammers believing they will receive the service. However, they never get the help they need.

Taking action against such fraudsters, Delhi Police has announced a facility to report these incidents. Sharing in a Twitter post, the police said that the citizens can report these incidents online. They can also seek assistance by dialling 01123469900.

Readers are warned not to fall for such messages and visit the Cowin website and Aarogya Setu app to register for the vaccine.
