BEWARE OF FRAUD BY ONE S.K. DUTTA CLAIMING GM LOGISTICS OF TATA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Tata International is part of the Tata group, a global enterprise headquartered in India, comprising over 100 operating companies, with operations in more than 100 countries across six continents. It employs over 6,50,000 people worldwide.

As a socially aware and responsible organisation, we would like to share a word of caution with all our internal and external stakeholders.

Our attention has been drawn to some fraudulent activities being carried out by one individual named ‘S. K. Dutta’. This individual is reported to have been approaching various agencies / clearing agents through email / SMS / links on WhatsApp, mobile etc. luring them with business from Tata International. Correspondence / offers are also being made on fake letterheads using the Tata logo and fraudulent signatures of the Logistics department. The fraudster, then on sympathetic grounds, such as having met with an accident, has requested for the transfer of money with promises of returning the funds soon. This is the modus operandi being adopted by the fraudster.

Please note that people have been defrauded by these means. In case any individual demands money posing as an employee of Tata International, you are requested to verify their credentials by writing to hr.corporate@tatainternational.com.

If you receive any such request for money on sympathetic grounds from any person / individuals claiming to be from or for a Tata company, it is recommended that you immediately check the authenticity of the same and refrain from transferring any amounts or making any form of payment either in cash or through bank remittances.

Anyone dealing with such fake calls would be doing so at his / her own risk and Tata International will not be held responsible for any loss or damage suffered by such persons, directly or indirectly.
