Asking for money for a gift by saying CEO
A user named Shikhar Saxena posted on Twitter that he received a message from an unknown number and the person described himself as the CEO of Meesho. The profile picture of this number was of the CEO of Meesho itself. Actually, Shikhar Saxena is also an employee of Meesho and by taking advantage of this the scammer was thinking of looting money from him. The scammer told Shikhar Saxena that he is the CEO of Meesho and was busy in a meeting with a client. Can you book a gift for a client on My Wife?
