Reliance Jio increasing data download limit in Happy New Year Offer?

New Delhi: A Facebook message is doing rounds which claims to upgrade the daily download limit of one's Reliance Jio data.

Beware! It could be just a trick of online scammers to steal your confidential data.

The message asks Reliance Jio users that the daily data download limit of Relaince Jio user can be increased to 10GB from 1GB by just clicking on the given link http://upgrade-jio4g.ml/ .

Once the link is clicked, the user is asked to share his personal information like phone number, email address and more.

A look at the url will confirm your fears of the message being a hoax as you would find that the url has no link with the official site of Reliance Jio.

The message further asks the user to "Share this with your WhatsApp Groups so they can also Upgarde Jio Service" or "You need to share atleast 10 Whatsapp groups or friends to Upgarde Jio Service".

Clearly, clicking on or sharing messages like these can put not just you, even your friends whom you circulate the message in the ambit of online fraud.

While announcing Happy New Offer, Reliance Jio had reduced the daily data download limit to 2GB, from 4GB which it was offering in Welcome Offer. The hoax message seems to be exploiting common public's weakness for free data, which has become the selling point of Jio connections.
